Summer 2010- RENT
        Thursday, August 12, 2010   Friday, August 13, 2010                
Saturday, August 14, 2010     

    Centering on the lives of a group of 8 friends, Rent tells many different stories at once. The musical focuses on the troubles of gay people in New York. Some of the other major focuses of the musical include drug addiction and the fight against AIDS.

    The musical is full of memorable and provocative songs. These paint a picture of the underground and tumultuous culture of the inner and dirty city of New York. All of these characters speak to specific social issues.

ON STAGE!

Thursday, July 15, 2010   Friday, July 16, 2010            
Saturday, July 17, 2010

 

                 Disney Channel's smash hit musical comes to life on stage!

    The gang's all here for an action-packed summer extravaganza as Troy, Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats finish junior year and blast onto the summer scene. At the Lava Springs Country Club, Sharpay reigns supreme while the Wildcats get to work - literally! Keeping every ounce of the light-hearted fun that makes High School Musical a household name, this buoyant sequel takes on the questions of real kids facing the realities of the adult world. Friendships are tested, summer romances go haywire, and the meaning of success is redefined.

    Growing with the characters, HSM2 doesn't miss one fabulous beat as the kids from East High get a taste of what it means to grow up. Rockin' songs, action-packed dance numbers, and ample opportunities to highlight a strong ensemble make this an ideal show for young actors. Jump into pool with the Wildcats as you swim along with this crowd-pleasing, fun-filled charmer.
