I had the pleasure of attending Bad Auditions by Bad Actors on Thursday night, and I want to share just how proud I am of our Kennett High School students and Staff. They delivered a truly fabulous performance—full of energy, humor, and talent. It was clear how much hard work and heart they poured into this production. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come out and support our students. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, they have showcased exceptional teamwork, creativity, and dedication. I encourage everyone to join us and cheer them on. Show Dates: November 20–22 at 7:00 PM November 23 at 2:00 PM Kennett High School Auditorium Admission: $7 at the door
