We have much to celebrate with our National Capital Area Cappies team from Edison! This week: Kudos to Malyha Bashar, sophomore and first year Cappies critic for her review of Annie at Falls Church being published in the FCPS Community News. And from last week: Lead critic and senior Natalie Laclede had her review of Oakton’s The Doctor in Wonderland sent to FCPS Community News.
