Nearly 100 alumni of Woodland Hills High School are traveling from all over the United States to come back to Pittsburgh for a very unique take on homecoming.
Over the course of 48 hours, the Woodland Hills returnees will stage, rehearse and perform the 1960s Broadway rock musical “Hair.” The efforts will raise funds that benefit future performing arts productions at Woodland Hills High School.
Thomas Crone, Performing Arts Department Chair at WHHS is excited for the camaraderie.
“It’s exciting to get as many people back as possible to relive some memories,” said Crone.
