Beginning as early as March 3, high school thespians will be showing their talents in an effort to win Freddy Awards as the scholastic theater season gets underway.
It may only be January, but Freddy fever is already spreading in the Lehigh Valley as schools prepare for their 2016 spring musical productions.
The 14th annual Freddy Awards ceremony will be held May 26 at the State Theatre in Easton.
And while that might seem like a long way off, six area schools are getting ready to take the stage in less than seven weeks.
