Hello Dolly at Shafter High a smashing school show
The Shafter High Patrons staged Hello Dolly at the Shafter High auditorium over two nights last week. Mrs Harvey Neuman starred as Dolly Levi with strong support from Verl Nash as Horace Vandergelder and junior Larry Starrh as Cornelius Hackl. The 49 voice choir and orchestra under John Mynatt drew praise though mic issues dimmed some dialogue. Box office was solid with both nights sold out and scholarship funding anticipated.
