PSJA ISD Theatre Groups Present Children’s Musicals

PHARR – The Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (PSJA ISD) Fine Arts Department has announced the upcoming performances of its award-winning theatre groups who will showcase their skills this fall during their annual children’s shows.  

 

Three of PSJA ISD's high schools are gearing up to showcase children's musicals this fall, following PSJA Memorial High School's earlier production of Charlotte’s Web last month. PSJA Early College High School, PSJA North Early College High School, and PSJA Southwest Early College High School will each present their production, highlighting the district’s dedication of providing fine arts opportunities for all students. 

 

PSJA Early College High School will present The Wizard of Oz, which follows Dorothy as she embarks on an adventure to the Land of Oz, meeting new friends and discovering the power of home and friendship. 
 
PSJA North Early College High School will be present Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Musical, a play based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book. The show follows young Charlie Bucket on his journey through Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, bringing life to characters through music. 

 

PSJA Southwest Early College High School will present Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical, based on the book series by Jeff Kinney. The production follows middle schooler Greg Heffley as he navigates the challenges of adolescence, friendship, and family.
