"COVID put a hold on everybody getting to be together, so it's just amazing to be connected with my (theater) family again," Lykiaropoulos said. "Theater is such a passion of mine, and it makes me happy to be on stage performing for people with the people I love most."
Students chose the songs, choreography and costumes for their performance.
