Shawn Hemmingsen is super excited to go to "The Lion King." The speech team ends their season with a roar by going to the musical “The Lion King” at the Civic Center on Wednesday, April 29th. The musical has won six Tony awards including best musical and best costume design. This is the first and potentially the only time the team will be going to a live musical together, and the students are very excited for this rare opportunity. Senior Kaitlin Andersen said, “I am ecstatic to be able to go on a trip with my speech group that I wouldn’t have been able to attend on my own.”
Senior Shawn Hemmingsen feels similar to Andersen and said, “I’m excited because I haven’t been to a live professional musical. I think it will be good. I’ve heard good things about it.”
The evening will consist of going out to eat in the downtown Des Moines area before attending the two and a half hour long show and making the commute back to Audubon. Andersen, as well as many of the other seniors who have participated in the speech program, believes that the best part of the day will be getting together with her speech group for “one last hoorah.”
