Spring Musical Cast Honored by USC School Board

 Six members of Upper St. Clair High School’s spring musical and two of their instructors were honored Monday night by the school board.

The members, all seniors, sang the National Anthem to begin the meeting and then each was recognized for his and her work on this year’s musical, “Anything Goes.”

Jillian Vlah, Grace Trocano, Becca DeGregorio, Nick Sembrat, Jon Wang and Luke Graci accepted certificates and were given a chance to speak about their roles.

School Director Louis Oliverio congratulated the group on their outstanding work.

“Believe it or not–I didn’t have a singing role–but I was in my senior class high school musical,” Oliverio said. “I know it’s a ton of work. Congratulations to all of you. I know you and your families and all your friends put together a lot of effort, a lot of time­–hours and days and weeks–so congratulations on a successful performance.”

Musical Director Lorraine Milovac and producer/sponsor Paul Fox also were recognized. Fox has worked on the past 30 spring musicals and also directed five choir musicals.

“These are wonderful students and every year it’s a different show,” Fox said. “It’s a whole new ball game.”

The school board gave Fox a standing ovation to applaud his longevity.

“We’ve been putting on productions at a very high, profession level,” Fox said. “It’s been my joy of doing this with these students, so thank you for this support.”

Milovac was not in attendance for the school board meeting.
