Fifteen-year-old Skye Andersen and 16-year-old David Fox, both Wilton residents and students at St. Luke's School in New Canaan, recently returned from the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, where they and fifteen schoolmates took the school's production of Godspell! to an international audience.
Andersen, a rising sophomore, played the lead role of Jesus, while Fox was a member of the three-man tech crew.
The St. Luke's company performed four shows at the Fringe, the world's largest theatre festival, which attracts performers from around the world.
In addition, St. Luke's was chosen to perform the only musical number at the closing ceremonies of the American High School Theatre Festival, which organized the school's participation in the festival, the heart-wrenching number "Beautiful City," sung by Andersen as Jesus.
