Upper Darby Summer Stage is a Delaware County institution! Their list of notable alumni is extensive and the opportunities they offer students to hone their craft is priceless!
Their first 2017 production, “Annie,” will open on July 5th. And the O’Hara theater students have taken this local community theater program by storm.We are proud to say that three of the leads are O’Hara students: Katie Till ’20 (“Annie”), Dylan Rooney ’19 (“Daddy Warbucks”) and Tina Goldhorn ’20 (“Ms. Hannigan.”) Additionally, other O’Hara students play other roles and are in the ensemble.
“We are so proud of all of the O’Hara students who are participating in community theater this summer! We are excited to witness many of these students perform in ‘Annie’. The arts are a vital part of the O’Hara experience and we are blessed to have a world of opportunities for our students to gain valuable experience this summer,” reflected Jeff Braconnier, O’Hara choral and theater director.
Harry Dietzler, Artistic and Executive Director of Upper Darby Summer Stage, echoes those sentiments, “We have been blessed with having many of the talented Cardinal O’Hara High School students join us over the years and perform on our stage. It is our goal to not only provide training in theater arts, but more importantly, teach Summer Stage students the skills to be a great citizens: empathy, collaborative skills, and respect for others. We think these values align closely with O’Hara’s goals so it’s a win-win for all involved!”
