A special night is being dedicated to the late Mike Roberds for one of DW Poppy Secondary’s performances of Sister Act.

The March 3 performance of the musical will honour Roberds, who was a Poppy grad. Since his passing last May, $6,000 has been raised so far for a theatre scholarship in his name.

Already some stars who worked with Roberds on The New Addams Family show are expected to be flying in to see the show that evening.
