Detroit students turn fire into a musical

Season 2014

One high school in Detroit created a musical about the challenges of their city.

When Cass Tech High School's Performing Arts teacher, Mrs. Marilyn G. McCormick, and her performing arts students heard parts of Detroit's Heidelberg Project had been burned down, they created "The Experience Up From the Ashes," an original musical to ensure the Heidelberg's message of hope would live on in their art.
