The previous weekend, students from across the DMV gathered for the Brandon Victor Dixon Awards at The National Theatre. Representing West Springfield, the cast of Mamma Mia! performed a medley from the show on the National Theatre stage. Graduating senior Ryan Coffey advanced in the competition and earned a place among the Top Five Female Vocalists in a Musical.
