Goodspeed Opera House

Fourth grade students from Macdonough School have been selected to participate in a very special program at the Goodspeed Opera House!  Our students will travel to the Goodspeed Opera House for a special matinee performance of "A Musical Love Letter to Broadway."  The program is being provided to Macdonough School students free of charge!

When the theatre is threatened by demolition and their diva Adelaide disappears, it will take all paws on deck to fulfill the time-honored tradition: the show must go on!
