Andrews Middle School Drama Club Presents 'Fame! Jr.'

Fame! JR. will be presented by Andrews Middle School Drama Club on Friday, June 1 & Saturday, June 2 at 7pm, at McGlynn Auditorium (3004 Mystic Valley Pkwy., Medford, MA, 02153.)  

Conceived and developed by David De Silva, featuring a book by David De Silva and José Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes, lyrics by Jacques Levy, and the title song “Fame” written by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore, Fame! Jr. is set during the last years of the “Fame School,” New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984).  

The musical follows the bittersweet but inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work in order to achieve their dream of “hitting the heights” and putting their “name in lights.” With insight and humor, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today, including prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy and perseverance.

Tickets cost $10-general admission; $5- students and seniors and will may on sale beginning on May 15.  

Students may purchase tickets during lunch or after school, and tickets will be available at the door on the nights of the performances.
