efore Kinkaid closed due to the pandemic, Kinkaid Visual and Performing Arts produced two major musicals. In January, the entire 8th grade joined together to tell the story of transformation, love, and tolerance in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Jr. A special Friday performance of the show was presented to 8th grade grandparents and special friends. It was a magical time for our students to share with their family members. Th last weekend of February brought the Upper School’s production of the 1944 musical On the Town. Telling the story of three sailors on a twenty-four hour leave and the three women they fall in love with, the show brought the rousing music of Leonard Bernstein to life. Earning two Tommy Tunes nominations for Supporting Actor for Andrew Linhart ’20 and Martín Ibarra ’21, the show was a colorful, energetic, feast for the senses.
