It’s spring play time at our high schools. Don’t miss these fantastic performances from our talented teen thespians!
First up is Glencoe High School with their production of Xanadu. Complete with roller skates, disco balls, music, and a healthy dose of satire, Xanadu tells the story of the Greek Muse Clio risking everything when she falls for frustrated artist and southern California dude Sonny. Based in 1980, Sonny has given up on his dream of one day opening an artsy roller disco when he meets Clio and is inspired to make his dream a reality.
Next is Century High School performing The Hello Girls, a story of America’s first women soldiers in a musical inspired by history. These intrepid heroines served as bilingual telephone operators on the front lines, helping turn the tide of World War I. They then returned home to fight a decades-long battle for equality and recognition, paving the way for future generations.
Then in April, Liberty High School presents SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical. Based on the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, the show reunites SpongeBob with his pet snail, Gary, best friend Patrick, neighbor Squidward, friend Sandy, boss Mr. Krabs, and more. Don’t miss what promises to be a hilarious evening of fun with our cutest cubical undersea pal.
Wrapping up the spring play series is Hilhi Theatre with their production of The Addams Family Musical. In an original story, daughter Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
