The ONU art and design department put out a call for thin people to pose for a drawing class. These guys showed up...on Halloween. They were good models since they knew how to hold a pose. (Monty Siekerman)
The ONU musical theatre class of 2017 will perform at Viva Maria's at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, according to Madeleine Gish, of the group.
"The musical theatre class of 2017 is made up of six students. It was originally only five of us including Molly Moreau, Josh Heard, Katie Hotz, Lani Coleman, and myself," said Gish.
"Because our class was so small we became a close-knit group from the beginning. Over the past few years we have grown in all aspects of our lives from how we perform to who we are as people."
