Wonza Johnson walked the halls of Andrew Jackson Middle School, but now performs on the biggest stages in New York on Broadway. During a unit on the seminal novel by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders, 8th Grade ELA students in Mrs. Griffin’s and Ms. Castellucci's classes will get the opportunity to virtually talk to this AJMS Alumnus about his work on Broadway. Mr. Johnson is currently starting in the Broadway premiere of The Outsiders, which is running at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in New York City.
The Virtual Residency will take place on Monday, November 4, 2024 and will allow for students to understand different interpretations of this novel and how they are similar and different from Francis Ford Coppola’s landmark motion picture. AJMS is delighted to welcome Broadway Superstar, Mr. Wonza Johnson back to the FOCUS program to inspire and enrich the artistic and academic lives of our students.
