In December, Presser Arts Center and Mexico High School will join forces to produce a fully staged, collaborative community theatre production of Disney’s Frozen the Musical. The entire community is invited to be a part of it.
This production, directed by Sidny Groves, represents a meaningful partnership between Mexico High School and Presser Arts Center. As Emmons Hall undergoes renovation, this collaboration ensures that performance opportunities for Mexico students remain strong while also expanding artistic involvement across the community.
Participants will step into a truly pre-professional environment, working alongside experienced performers, musicians, designers, technicians and volunteers. With more than 100 individuals typically involved in Presser productions, this is a unique opportunity for students and community members to learn, collaborate and contribute to a Broadway-caliber experience.
This partnership is more than a single production; it is a shared investment in the arts. Students will grow as performers and collaborators, while community members will have the chance to mentor, support and celebrate the creative talents within Mexico. Presser Arts Center serves thousands of patrons and participants each year, and through this collaboration, expanding access to high-quality arts experiences for all.
