" High School Suggestions "

This week I played songs from shows that I suggest high schools or junior high schools may want to consider performing. Last year there were eight productions in the metropolitan Halifax region of "Guys and Dolls". "Guys and Dolls" is a great show, I enjoy it quite a lot, but wouldn't it be exciting if people would perform something else for a change?
