The cast and crew of the Franklin High School Theatre Company delivered an outstanding performance of Mamma Mia! Thank you to all who came out to support. Mamma Mia was nothing short of unforgettable. I am so honored I was able to share this experience with such a talented and professional cast.  - Sarah Dumas, 2024 (Donna Sheridan) Performing in the musical Mamma Mia was a challenging yet thrilling experience for me. I had so much fun bonding with the cast and jumping into the role, It was truly the highlight of my high school experience thus far.  -Linnea Remillard, 2022, Tanya Chesham-Leigh Throughout the rehearsal process, Mamma Mia was referred to as "a party on stage." This is a party I never wanted to end, a home I never want to leave, and a family I never want to say goodbye to.
