Action hits a crescendo in a scene from a dress rehearsal for Disney’s High School Musical Jr. on Monday evening at the Holland Theatre as Gabrielle Montez, played by Regan Ross of Indian Lake Middle School, completes equations at the blackboard; Ryan and Sharpay Evans, played by Corbin Baker of Bellefontaine Middle School and Brookabella Horner of Benjamin Logan Middle School, sing and dance on center stage; and Troy Bolton, played by Andrew Kimball of West Liberty-Salem Schools puts up a shot in the basketball game at right.
