WEEKLY FEATURE

Image

Tri-School Productions presents The Wedding Singer - debuting this weekend! Students from Mercy, Serra, and Notre Dame will electrify the stage in the spring musical, delighting audiences of all ages. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. The cast and crew include many Mercy Girls, with the lead role of Julia played by junior Klara La Guardia '20.  "She's selfless and quirky," Klara says of her character. "She doesn't care what other people think and she puts other people's feelings before her own. I'm really excited for this show - it's going to be a blast!" Buy your tickets from Tri-School Productions HERE for March 29-31 or April 5-6. We're gonna party like it's 1985!
