Families and community members gathered for a delightful performing arts show put on by the Northern Michigan University (NMU) Wildcat Performing Arts Academy (WPAA) at the Skanee Town Hall last week. The academy brought 15 talented students to perform songs, dances, and short acting skits for the audience on Monday, April 14, 2025. Most of the NMU
students were pursuing degrees in dance or performing arts or were double majoring with another specialty. The WPAA School Education Expedition began that morning at 9 a.m. when the WPAA team arrived to unload the bus, set up the space, and rehearsed. The house opened at 10 a.m., allowing the audience to arrive, and the show started promptly
thereafter. To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
