WPS Upper School Musical and Art Show Presenting: Footloose the Musical!

2/28/2025

Berlin, MD – Congratulations to the Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) performing arts program on their production of Footloose the Musical. Members of the community and Worcester Prep families and friends turned out in large numbers to support the cast and crew, resulting in standing ovations for both performances.

WPS hosted Footloose the Musical in the Athletic and Performing Arts Center on February 22 and 23. The show was made possible thanks to the creative collaboration and determination of talented student performers and amazing teachers, Director Mrs. Paulette DeRosa-Matrona, Music Director Mr. Christopher Buzby and Art Director Mr. George Zaiser.

Upper School thespians and artists combined music, dance and an array of art mediums. On top of the show, incredible works of art were created by students and displayed throughout the lobby for guests to enjoy before and after the show.

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 School, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
