Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on your stage!

Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.


It's the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians

and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical

that is being led by Ms. Darbus. 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.

Disney's High School Musical is fun for the whole family.


           Our Director, David Haworth, Producer, Casey Krubiner, and Choreographer,

Cheryl Baxter-Ratliff are returning!  The three leaders will welcome involvement of the many creative talents in the Laurel Hall community!

Areas of need will include sets, costumes, sound, lights, hair, make-up,

publicity, photography, band musicians, cast support and more!
