Musical Season In Johnson County High Schools
2014 High School Musical Seasons begins...
Anyone who has ever been involved in any way in a high school drama production has to enjoy this time of year! Whether you were involved behind the scenes in the production and direction crew, or whether you held the lead part or were in the supporting cast or singers and dancers, you have to cherish fond memories of hours of memorizing lines or lyrics and working on choreography, coupled with those endless evenings of rehearsals and then going home to face the books and homework. Dress rehearsal when everyone felt pretty sure it would never come together was always so stressful……..and then, the night of the production arrived and everything went off without a hitch! Even if there were a couple of small mistakes, everyone seemed to rise to the occasion and carry on superbly! What an entirely wonderful occasion! Even if you have never been involved except to be in the audience enjoying the fruits of all the actors’ labor, you know how much fun these musicals are and how very talented the kids prove to be each year..
That wonderful, magical time of year is here once again, and each of the major high schools in the metro area has an offering. The Johnson County School Districts - Big 3 Districts – Olathe, Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley - offerings appear below. Generally, tickets range between $8 and $10. What an entertainment value for those living in Johnson County properties! It's a fun evening to see those kids work so hard to put together a very cool event!
