Recently, Heritage Hall was chosen by Disney Theatricals and Music Theatre International to be the first school in Oklahoma to produce the full version of the musical Frozen, which will play to our regular audience as well as to students in underserved neighborhoods and a sensory-friendly performance for families impacted by autism. Thorough service, leadership, and creativity, our Technical Director plays a crucial role in bringing art to life for our students and community.
