Providence High school is preparing for a show on May 21st.
“Lot of hours are put in,” said Daniel Binder.
He is the lead in Monty Python’s Spamalot.
“To play a character that’s not you, but insert yourself into that character and tell it’s story, it’s really beautiful,” said Binder.
He says they have been rehearsing for months. They’ve staggered rehearsal times and placement in order to conform with necessary Covid safety protocols.
“We’re just appreciative to be there at this point,” said RJ Binford.
Binford is the show’s stage manager. He says it’s been a difficult year. And they were hoping to put on a show for the parents who have supported them throughout.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A recent decision by Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools is far from worthy of a standing ovation from theater parents at Providence High School. I just want to see my son on stage for his final performance, said Adam Binder, whose son, Daniel, is a senior at Providence High School.
Binder s son is also the lead for his high school musical, Spamalot.
Providence High School
Parents at Providence High School say they re disappointed with a decision that prevents them from attending the school s spring show, while the parents of student athletes will be allowed to attend indoor sporting events and other athletic competitions. If it s safe to put people in a gym, it s safe to put people in an auditorium in family pods far away from each other, said Mitzi Lynch, a parent and president of the school s drama booster club. There s really no difference.
Another parent, Jessica Daitch, who is also treasurer of the school s drama booster club, called the decision arbitrary and completely unfair, and said the school district was employing two sets of standards one for athletes, and one for non-athletes.
/ Students who learned from home fared better than those who moved between schools and remote classes, new CMS numbers show.
A report on third-quarter grades and absenteeism in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools revealed what some called a surprising twist: Students who consistently learned from home fared better than those who moved in and out of in-person classes.
By now it’s well established that the pandemic has brought academic setbacks, especially for students who faced challenges before COVID-19 closed schools. That’s true in CMS and across the country.
Chief Accountability Officer Frank Barnes told the school board Tuesday that the percentage of CMS students who failed math or English classes in the third quarter remains high compared to pre-pandemic levels, but there was a reduction across the board from second quarter to third quarter, which is encouraging.
