The Mundelein Theatre Group Interpretation Team experienced a noteworthy spring break, securing second place in sectional competition and participating in the state tournament.

Individual members of the team received significant recognition, with eight team members selected for the All-Sectional Cast and four company members named to the All-State Cast.

Xavion Haynes, Sylv Pacis, Ellory Duval, and Jasmine Tigley earned the distinction of being named to the All-State Cast. Other cast members included Riley Kuhn, Eli Nerdin, Connor Bui, Cana Raymond, Merrick Hoover, and Layla Trahan. The musicians were Olivia Jerome and Lily Jones, and the Student Assistant was Sara McHugh.

Group Interpretation is an IHSA-sanctioned event featuring a 30-minute, student-led performance of any literary work. This year, the Mundelein team presented "Orion and the Dark," a story about an anxious 11-year-old boy who confronts his fears when the personification of darkness takes him on a journey to demonstrate there’s nothing to fear in the night.

Mark Landuyt served as the director, with Hayley Johnson as assistant director.
