SSHS Play goes live next week

“It's that time of year again!” according to musical theatre director Kimberly Mumford.  The annual spring play at the high school auditorium has been cast, stage managed, scored, and is going through its rehearsal paces this week in anticipation of next week’s Monday launch.

Soda Springs High School will be presenting "The Lightning Thief- The Percy Jackson Musical"  on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of March.  The show starts promptly at 7pm in the SSHS Auditorium.

Recent weather-related building issues have been remedied, and the auditorium is ready to host a colorful cast of characters for the play.  The  “bright and fun musical includes several Tigert Middle School students as well as 25 students from the high school,” Mumford says.

The musical is based on the very popular book series “Percy Jackson” by Rick Riordan, which has also served as the basis for a series of films and graphic novels.  The series involves the children of famous mythological figures from ancient Greece and elsewhere, who seek to understand their place between that world and the “normal” world of the average teenager in the twenty-first century.

The play is humorous, dramatic, heartfelt, and should be a lot of fun for audiences of all ages.  Last year’s “Spamalot” was a very well-produced and acted adaptation of the on and off Broadway musical.

Tickets are $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students without activity cards, and $3.00 for student with activity cards present.

Please bring a friend and come and support these students.
