- Is There Life After
High School? - April 18 - May 17
This musical with script by Jeffrey Kindley and music by Craig
Carnelia, is based on Ralph Keyes' 1976 book of the same name. Through
artfully crafted songs and insightful monologues, the characters
discover how much their experiences in high school have stuck with them
through the years and formed who they became as adults. Musical numbers
like "The Kid Inside", "Diary of a Homecoming Queen", "I'm Glad You
Didn't Know Me" and "Beer" form a sweet, sometimes bittersweet
nostalgic trip back to adolescence. Is There Life After High
School? is directed by Don Edelman, with musical director Regis
Bookshar, and stars Pat Mazzarino, Sharon Lloyd, Don Bernardo, Libby
Merriman, Steve Kay, Maggie Wise, Chris Hunter, Darlene Fowler and Eric
Oswald. Tickets are $16 or $12 for students/seniors. Tickets On Sale
