A Pella High senior, Jack Parisee, has taken his talents to the big city and is currently performing in the Des Moines Playhouses production of Les Miserables at the 42 Street Theater. Parisee plays one of the leaders in the student revolution, a role that he says he’s honored to have earned, and has been working on since he auditioned in October. Parisee says he has a passion for the arts and can’t imagine doing anything else, and he’ll have an opportunity to further hone his skills when he attends college this fall in California. Performances run through Sunday the 13th, and are held nightly, except Mondays, and tickets are available online at DMPlayhouse.com.
