Porch Performance
WHEN: Friday, August 13, 2021

Please join us for the second annual Patterson Porch Performance. Last summer the porch performance was a welcome relief from the stress of isolation and Covid 19. As we merge from this chapter in life, the arts continue to provide us feelings comfort and freedom. This year the celebration of the arts continues by bringing CNS musical students – past, present, and future, together with the community for a joyful evening of dance, drama, and music. Join us for a relaxing evening guaranteed to make you smile!

‘This Will Be Our Year’, an original musical, was a concept created by the artistic team at CNS High School, with the title drawing inspiration from the 1968 song, ‘This Will Be Our Year’ (The Zombies). With a book written by Kimberly Panek-Edwards and musical arrangements by Caryn Patterson of the great songs of the 60’s and 70’s, the musical focuses on a typical senior year, in an effort to give back to the students the year that they lost last year, in a creative way. The new musical touches on situations and events that can happen throughout a student’s senior year, from falling in love, gossiping, the loom of high standards, to divorce and heartbreak, along with the fun of promposals, the prom, and the culmination of graduation. The musical provides a tale that states that experiences and situations from high school will shape us into the people we will become. Click here for more information on our original story!
