NEMPAC’s Music Theatre Troupe performed two stunning, audience-packed performances of Disney’s ‘The Descendents” on Friday, May 12th, and Saturday, May 13th. The cast of over 25 young actors-in-training was led by Stage Director Allie Carufel and Music Director Jaime Castellanos through a 90-minute entertaining production filled with singing, acting, and dancing. The show was hosted at the Charlestown High School and supported by Strategic Community Partners and funders, including RISE, the Charlestown Community Impact Fund, Lupoli Family Foundation, and the Boston Cultural Council.
