Chapter Two - "(mis) Fitting In"

Since I am a member of the musical theatre department at good old WWCC, I need to tell you all about the amazing new production that just opened up at the school.  The show was written by the head of the musical theatre department, Jamie Young.  It is called "(mis) Fitting In" and deals with bullying and peer pressure, etc.  Now, I know that sounds like an after school special but it isn't.  It has a great plot and a lot of great musical numbers.  I have seen it twice and I cried both times!!
"Ben Perry" and "Ella Swanson" getting in trouble in front of the principals office.

Some people also compare this show to that of High School Musical.  However, I believe that this show is much better than High School Musical.  The plot line is more intense and complex.  There is a purpose for each musical number instead of just having a song that doesn't necessarily help to further the plot line.  The show is also based upon real events that have happened in and around Rock Springs.
The cast singing "Aliens in the Lake" at the pool party.

The cast is so great and they get to tour all of Wyoming with this show.  It is some really hard work but they really pull it off!!


Anyway, come see "(mis) Fitting In" before it closes!!  Western students get in free with their student ID card!!  You won't regret it!!
