GLENBROOK, IL — Glenbrook North High School students Rachel Samett and Michayla Van Treeck have worked behind the scenes on past theater production’s. But those smaller shows were just preparation for their work on this spring’s large-scale musical, “The Phantom of the Opera.”
“It’s not (been) as intense as this show,” said junior Van Treeck, the show’s costume designer. “It’s almost 100 students in the production.”
The spring musical is an annual tradition that brings together students from both Glenbrook North and South high schools. But this year’s production, which runs through May 6, marks a rare occurrence of students helping with and sometimes leading many back-stage operations, including costume design and choreography.
“We’ve got students running pretty much every aspect of the show,” said vocal music director Chad Davidson.
