Horace Greeley High School Class of 2018 presents DISASTER! Performances Thursday, March 22nd at 7pm, Friday, March 23rd at 8pm and Saturday, March 24th at 2pm and 8pm.
The year is 1979 and the hippest floating discotheque and casino is about to open. It’s not too late to get on board. But be careful, because earthquakes, tidal waves, and burning infernos await. You might have to help save a reporter and her long-lost boyfriend, a nightclub singer and her young twins, a greedy businessman, a nun with a secret, a singer that’s hit the skids, and a scientist that just might be able to rescue us all. Plus, there’s romance, intrigue, sharks, rats, and more than a hundred other guests on board.
This is “DISASTER!” a hilarious homage to the '70s complete with bell bottoms, feathered hair, and the music of a generation. You’ll be dancing in the aisles to classics like “Knock on Wood,” “I Will Survive,” “I Am Woman," and “Never Can Say Goodbye.” Director Lee Kasper tells us “I love all of the music in Disaster! Moment to moment, each song is one that the audience will love to hear and will be excited to learn how it has been contextualized for the show.” Cast member Katie Katz tells us “We are all so excited to be a part of this and the audience will love to hear these classic songs delivered in a whole new way.” Violet Gautreau portrays Jackie, the nightclub singer, and tells us that she "loves the opportunity to do something I love with the entire class.” And John Admundsen, who portrays Chad added “it’s great to be part of this community and it has been a joy to spend time with the senior class throughout the rehearsal process.” Cast member Ashley Wachtfogel said, “Disaster! is fun and upbeat, and everyone will really get into the music, especially our parents.” And Chase Sullivan, who portrays Tony, the nightclub owner, says, “The show is crazy, unexpected entertainment.” Get ready to bring back all those '70s dance moves, as well. Choreographer Jesse Pellegrino tells us he "loves the 70’s vibe and teaching the kids to embrace the style of dance, which was new to all of them, was a blast.”
Over 150 students are participating as cast members, crew, pit band, assistant directors, choreographers, make-up artists, and costume designers.
Since auditions, the cast and crew of this show have had to deal with many real disasters such as nor’easters, canceled rehearsals, no power, and closed roads.. But we survived. Will you?
Don’t wait because tickets are going fast.
