This is Parkview\u00a0School&#8217;s first year participating in this prestigious program.<\/p>\n<p>When the MACY judges came to see Parkview\u2019s production of Little Women in April, they were not expecting much from a small homeschool group that had never participated in the MACY awards before. Overall, the MACY Foundation saw 57 high school productions this season. Among them are the distinguished schools known for their performing arts like OCSA, Huntington Beach APA, Orange Lutheran, and Yorba Linda High School. However, Parkview&#8217;s cast and crew of Little Women, directed by the school&#8217;s team of parent volunteers, used that anonymity to their advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The audience was incredibly impressed and so was every single MACY judge. Among their several accolades to our cast and crew was the comment that a school does not need expensive sets or a fancy theater to have a fantastic production brimming with talent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16095\" style=\"width: 248px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16095\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16095\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah Frey.\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19-768x967.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19-813x1024.jpg 813w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Parkview-School-MACY-Awards-5-2-19.jpg 993w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hannah Frey.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From that judged performance, the MACY judges called back senior Hannah Frey to audition as a Lead Actress Finalist\u00a0in order to compete for the chance of attending the National High School Musical Theatre Awards, or Jimmy Awards, in New York.
