Ridge Drama Club

The Ridge Theater Program has many exciting offerings for this season in the Performing Arts Center at Ridge HS. Mr. Baldwin returns with a vibrant group of talented officers and members of the Drama Club.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, RHS’s Fall Production will be performed the weekend before Thanksgiving, November 19-22, 2009. Mary Zimmerman’s acclaimed adaptation of THE ARABIAN NIGHTS weaves ancient tales of wonder into a rich and dazzling testament to the transformative power of storytelling. To save her life from King Shahryar, Scheherezade spends one thousand and one nights telling funny, moral, thrilling, musical, romantic and thoroughly enchanting stories. This terrific cast works together to bring vibrant and resonant themes in a uniquely theatrical setting.

Get ready for another entertaining evening of Musical Theater. Ridge HS is proud to present the 2010 Spring Musical, CURTAINS by Kander & Ebb. This hit show from the 2007 Broadway season will be presented for the first time by an area high school. This is a huge dance show with lots of jokes.

The musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 Boston, Massachusetts and follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself?

Auditions for CURTAINS will start after Thanksgiving.
Performances are March 4-6, 2010.

There are many opportunities for stage crew, performance and design teams. Look for announcements for meetings in the near future and at Ridgedrama.com
