Kyung Mo Koo of Brooklyn, a member of the Pomfret School class of 2016, was recently in the cast of Pomfret's winter play production of the 2008 Tony Award-winning musical "In the Heights" on February 21-23.

In a three-day time span and in three main venues--a bodega, a beauty salon, and a taxi dispatch service, "In the Heights" examines the lives of a close-knit Dominican-American neighborhood in New York City's Washington Heights. At the forefront are the husband-and-wife owners of the struggling taxi company, their daughter (a student at Stanford University); a $96,000 lottery ticket, everybody's "Abuela"; a gifted graffiti artist, and everybody's loves, hopes and dreams.

Alex had the role of Graffiti Pete, the graffiti artist.
