Mount Vernon Community Children’s Theatre (MVCCT) kicks off its 2013-14 season by bringing Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical to the stage November 15th – 24th. The energetic cast showcases more than forty young actors representing twenty-two area schools, and is a pitch-perfect look at the social structure of high school.
The catchy, energetic musical follows the students of East High as they deal with issues of love, friends, and family while balancing their classes and extra curricular activities. Troy, the resident jock and brainy Gabriella, cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. High School Musical is fun for the whole family.
This entertaining musical reminds us that we don’t have to pick and choose – we can be artistic, smart and athletic all at the same time! The upbeat music will have you singing all the way home!
