“I am extremely honored to be playing one of the leads for the first time at Bryant High School. I think it is breaking huge barriers for this musical and for our drama class in general because this is set in the 1930’s and having an African American woman as a lead is pretty big,” senior Sharayah Wallace said. She is playing the lead character Reno Sweeney.  (Pictured right)
