With the Susan Boyle vid making the rounds on the internet, it was slightly serendipitous that I went to see a high school production of Les Miserables at a local high school last night. One of our writers invited me along because I took a look at some fundraising letters she wrote on their behalf.
The production was really, really good. It was a girl's school, but they'd scoured the district for some boys to join the cast. Most of them came from St. Michael's Choir School or local Fame-type arts schools.
They staged a production of a scale and quality that I wouldn't think possible. You could see their parents simply bursting with pride.
With so much being written about where today's generation is failing, it was actually pretty encouraging to see what a group of kids can do when they put their minds to it.
