West Virginia University Potomac State College is pleased to announce that the College is offering an interactive and new, VIP live-show experience with this year’s production of Disney’s “High School Musical.”The scenario goes like this: You are on a backstage tour at East High School, when word is received that the bus carrying half the actors and dancers in the musical has broken down. With no dance team to perform the big finale, the show will be ruined! Who can quickly learn the choreography and save the show?
This is a fun opportunity to prove that you have what it takes to perform on the big stage with a live band and light show. With the purchase of a VIP ticket, participants will also meet cast members and top-tier production crew members, work with the show’s choreographer, Henry Newby, plus receive priority seating prior to the house opening. The VIP Interactive Experience is recommended for ages five and up and starts promptly at 6 p.m. for the evening shows and 1 p.m. for either of the matinees.
“High School Musical” is about two teenagers Troy Bolton, a popular high school athlete and Gabriella Montez, an academically gifted girl, who meet at a party while singing karaoke on New Year’s Eve. Troy soon discovers that Gabriella is a new student at his high school. They quickly develop a friendship, but not everyone is happy about that because it threatens the social order of the high school. As Troy and Gabriella try to direct their friends to a more open-minded way of thinking and acceptance, they encounter some challenges along the way.
The show is produced by PSC Music Professor Brian Plitnik, and is directed by Mark Ashby, with music direction by Sean and Debi Beachy.
“High School Musical” will be performed in the Church-McKee Arts Center on March 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 7:30 p.m. Afternoon performances will be on March 22 and 29 at 2:30 p.m.
