The corn will be as high as an elephant's eye. That's a line from a song in "Oklahoma," the most popular musical selected by South Hills high schools for their spring performances. Bethel Park, McKeesport and Seton LaSalle high schools will have productions of that 1940s classic.
Upper St. Clair will tutor Eliza Doolittle on the fine points of English in "My Fair Lady," and South Park High School will be a haven for orphans in "Annie."
