SOSS students and staff have been hard at work putting together this year’s show – Disney’s High School Musical.
The play was cast in December and rehearsals began in early January. The cast and crew have been hard at work ever since! Around forty SOSS students are involved in the production.
The original musical boasts catchy songs and energetic choreography. The show tells the story of high school jock Troy Bolton and brainiac Gabriella Montez who join forces to star in the school musical. During the course of show, the two discover a love for singing and for each other! As the two attempt to break out of their cliques, their world and their school turn upside down!
SOSS’s musical stars Tony Abellan as Troy Bolton and Lauren McGibbon as Gabriella Montez. Kaden Chernoff and Bethany Smith play the theatrical duo, Ryan and Sharpay Evans, who are most upset by the upheaval of the Status Quo. Carlos Estrada is Troy’s best friend Chad and JoJo Abellan is Taylor, the leader of the East High’s Science Club. Also featured in the cast are Tatum Brogan as Coach Bolton and Mikayla Podmorow as Ms. Darbus.
The creative team includes Alison Podmorow (Director/Producer), Lisa Ante (Music Director), Nimrit Toor (Choreographer), Rod Kitt (Technical Director), Steve Podmorow (Set Design and Construction), Nathan Woolard (Assistant Director) and Sarah Riordan (Scenic Artist).
