Darrell Charlton
as Troy Bolton
Darrell Charlton's Senior year has been a year of firsts for him. This is his first year in A Cappella choir and his first time being on stage (not behind the scenes) for a production. Darrell is very excited to show his family and friends what all those nights where he couldn’t hang out have amounted to. Although this is Darrell’s first and possibly last time acting in a big production, he certainly isn’t done with one of his passions in life: music. He plans to continue to study music in college. ”Where words fail, music speaks.”-Hans Christian Andersen
