she did so in the same outfit her mother wore on that same stage during that same show in the mid-1980s. This is the third time this show, a musical set in the 1950s, has been performed on the school’s stage. Dawn Hils, Claudia’s mother, performed in “Bye Bye Birdie” the first time it was performed in 1986 with the St. Catherine Players, a parish-supported community theater group that was active from 1985 until 2010 that she helped form. In that performance, Dawn's costume included clothes that her mother wore in the 1950s. Now, decades later, her daughter will be wearing the same outfit on stage for the junior high school’s production of “Bye Bye Birdie.”

“I feel very nostalgic and proud,” Dawn said. “I smile to myself knowing that history is repeating itself in a good way.” As part of a big St. Catherine family, being the oldest of five kids, Dawn said her family members were also part of the second production of the musical in 2008. Her daughter, Maria, now a student at Highlands High School, also performed in school productions during the time at St. Catherine, inspiring her younger sister. “I grew up watching her performing in plays, and I knew it was something I wanted to do,” Claudia said. “I think its really cool to get to be part of this play that my mom performed,” Claudia said. Dawn said while Claudia is moving onto the high school after this year, she still has one more child at St. Catherine who she hopes to see perform on that stage. “It’s exciting to see my kids perform on the same stage that I did,” Dawn said. “I think any time someone gets to be on stage, it’s a confidence builder.”
