Synopsis

Wanda’s World – Park Ridge Middle and High School combines the lessons of musical theater with lessons about bullying, exclusion and self-confidence through the performance of Wanda’s World. This musical is the result of creative thinking by vocal music teacher Brandon Langer and theater teacher Stephanie Buckley. When 94 students, half of the middle school’s student body, requested vocal music, Brandon and Stephanie came up with a creative idea of a music theater course, but they had no funding. So the Park Ridge Education Foundation, a parents’ organization, provided the financing for the rights to a production as well as the other costs associated with staging a musical (microphone rentals, costumes, properties, etc.) As a result, the culmination of the course is a 90-minute musical called Wanda’s World.
