Bridgeport High School's production of the Tony award-winning "Barnum" will be presented Feb. 23-25 at the school auditorium. The musical is based on the mid- to late-19th century life of P.T.

Barnum and his wife, Charity, are Derek Hess and Erica Cottrill with Jordan Kennedy Rea portraying the Ringmaster, Andrew White as Chester Lyman and Olivia Ferguson as Joice Heth.
