McCallum's Evita Boasts Two Languages, Two Leading Ladies and Two Venues
There’s no crying for McCallum High School’s Fine Arts Academy. The highly touted Theater Department is busy at work mounting a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony-Award- winning Evita, sure to wow audiences and make them smile.
