Director and educator Kevin Kennedy joins It Takes 2 to talk about the upcoming production of ‘Les Miserables’ or “Les Mis” for those of us who don’t want to pronounce the whole thing. He also brought two of the leads, Tyrese Childs plays Jean Valjean and Bill Risher plays Inspector Javert. Both young men are incredibly talented seniors at Fargo South High and this show promises to be the hit of the spring season.

Set in early 19th-century France it is the story of Jean Valjean a French peasant, and his quest for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his sister’s starving child. Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade.
Les Miserables at Fargo South High runs from April 19th – 22nd.
