WCT UPDATES
BIG FISH School Edition, WCT's Fall Musical (Grades 6-12) centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. This epic story blending fantasy and reality is highlighted by a beautiful score by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party, The Addams Family).
