Rockville Centre students showcased their talents in two recent theatrical productions that wowed enthusiastic audiences.

South Side High School’s thespians were featured in “On the Town,” a 1940s musical about sailors on leave in New York City, with a score by Leonard Bernstein. The annual spring musical ran from April 7-9 at the school, with a special senior citizen preview on April 6.

Across town on the same weekend, St. Agnes Cathedral School’s 8th graders garnered rave reviews with their presentation of Disney’s “Aladdin Jr.”
