Ibrahim Baydoun has agreed to a new contract with school administrators for the 2013-2014 season.

Thursday, April 11
By Leslie Herrick Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's classic musical Babes in Arms will take over the stage at Edsel Ford High School at 7 p.m., April 18-20. The plot follows a group of young theater apprentices and their conviction to mount the original revue they've created while dodging the underhanded attempts of the surly theater owner to squash their efforts at every turn.

The EFHS Performing Arts Department will present this classic musical, which has an appeal for all ages. Students …
