A Moppets Moment to celebrate

congratulations, helena!

While most of our Moppets live in Western North Carolina, some of them have a longer commute. Helena first joined us for our digital production of “Romeo & Juliet,” and last summer she traveled all the way from Maryland to be in “The Merry Wives of Windsor”! Since then, she’s been hard at work preparing her application for her local arts high school. And she just let us know that she was accepted!

We’re so proud of you, Helena!


Is your Moppet out there achieving great things? We’d love to spread the news! Let us know at TheMontfordMoppets@gmail.com.
