October 12,13,14 Play On! by Rick Abbot
THE STORY: This Madcap farce tells the story of a theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of a playwright who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the performance in which anything that can go wrong does! Presented for 4 shows in the EC Glass Auditorium.
October 25 Romeo & Juliet (VTA and VHSL competition)
Inspired by London’s Frantic Assembly theatre company, advanced students will adapt this classic with physical theatre to perform for The Virginia Theatre Conference and the State VHSL competition. Join us on October 25th for our pre-competition performance, open to the public.
January 25, 26, 27 Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson
The Story “Sometimes a play comes along that combines biography and human interest in a way that captures the imagination and hearts of audiences across the country." This award-winning play tells the story of the pioneering astronomer, Henrietta Leavitt who, with her female “computer” colleagues navigated bias at the Harvard Observatory in 1900 with wit her, wonder and precision: a true history of how one woman’s passion to chart the stars, changed the way we understand the heavens and Earth. Presented in the Alumni Studio Theatre.
March 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 24 Disney’s Beauty and The Beast
The Story- Is beauty in the eye of the beholder, or the heart of the beheld? Join Glass Theatre on the Auditorium Stage for this Disney classic: a story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast (once a haughty prince) can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will transform into his former self. “A tale as old as time” about the transformative power of love.
