While the audience watches, junior Boyd Mueller sings into a microphone. Mueller plays Hades. Prosper Theatre's "Hadestown: Teen Edition" was chosen to be performed at the Main Stage at the Texas Thespian State Festival in Grapevine. "Generally, Main Stage is a privilege almost exclusively given to private fine art schools," stage manager senior Annabelle Nugent said. "The fact that a public school like Prosper is getting Main Stage is fantastic. Simply, it means that we are at the level of schools who specifically draft for stuff like fine arts and singing and dancing ability, and it's really a compliment to our actors and our technicians."

Instruments at the ready, United Sound special education students work every Friday to learn music with their mentors from the orchestra. Cassie Cepeda, one of the program's teachers, said the group even performed in front of the school board last year. "It was awesome to see all the students just rise to the occasion and learn a song in two rehearsals," Cepeda said. "We had to pull off one of the songs in two rehearsals. They showed us that, we don't need to hold them back. And, it really taught us, and our mentor students, that there's really no limit."
