Every year, PMFS 6th graders perform one of teacher Frumi Cohen's original musicals. This year's 6th graders performed "The Power of One" on Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5.
 
This series of "blogumentaries" features behind the scenes video footage of how 6th graders find out about the show, how they audition and get their roles, what a rehearsal is like and many other little known things that happen both on and off the stage.
