Students in grades pre-k through three enjoyed a fun and inspiring show when Columbia County Youth Theatre (CCYT) presented Could You Hug A Cactus? at MED February 9. Based on a collection of whimsical poems by Phillip Van Wagoner, this musical revue follows a group of kids as they come together to create a show that’s bursting with poems and creativity. One by one, they each share their imaginative creations, until a nervous performer panics and refuses to contribute a poem. But not to worry, with help from the audience, the cast showed how anyone can shed self-doubt and ignite their creative spark if they put their mind to it!
CCYT’s touring company is composed of students from throughout the county. Performing on stage that day were MED’s very own student Anna Artist and first grade teacher Cassidy Flanagan, as well as CMS students Arlo Bishop-Hayes and Zoe Ewers!
