Melrose Area Public Schools

✨ Spotlight Moment! ✨
On November 21, our Theatre Camp performers took the stage with “Sheldon Holmes: It’s All Elementary”—and wow, did they shine! 🎭

These talented young actors learned their lines and stage cues in just over a week and delivered an incredible performance for friends and family. We’re so proud of their hard work and confidence!
