Brittany Woods is one of 20 schools nationwide to be selected to participate in NBC’s SMASH Make a Musical Project.

“From the very beginning when they worked with the iTheatrics staff in February, a palpable energy was released,” said Wu Bakeman, Brittany Woods teacher and musical director for the show. “It's as if the students were waiting for something exactly like this to come along—something energizing which gives them a chance to express themselves.”
