Lecanto High School students rehearse for the one-act play “Once On This Island” at Curtis Peterson Auditorium.
A trio of high school plays opening soon should give local audiences something to sing about.
For, like, an amazingly interactive night of fun, for sure check out “The Awesome 80’s Prom” at Crystal River High School.
Cathy Tweeddale-Tate, the school’s drama teacher, said her students have been rehearsing since the end of January.
Recognizable characters from the decade of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Footloose,” “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and all those Molly Ringwald movies will compete for prom king and queen.
Audience participation will be a big part of the show, including choosing the winners.
“The audience can come in costume if they want and the whole bit,” Tweedale-Tate said.
Show times are 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 3 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Pirate’s Cove Black Box at Crystal River High School. The entrance to the theater is located across from Portable 400.
The fine arts department at Citrus High School will present “Seussical The Musical” with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Thursday through Saturday in the school’s cafetorium.
