The Banjo Lesson


Our very own, Hennigan theatre teacher, Mr. Paul Sedgwick presents The Banjo Lesson, a solo theatre piece with music. I had the great opportunity to view part of this piece at a Boston Public Schools arts workshop. Paul transported us back in time and took us in a magical journey through the history of the banjo. Set this date in your calendars and treat yourself to a masterful theater piece. To learn more about Paul Sedgwick and his work visit www.thebanjolesson.com.
