Jules, Sydney, and Elliot have some big dreams.  An up-and-coming musical team, they’ve rented a creaky old theater for six weeks to mount a production of their new show. Top Broadway investors are slated to attend, so the team is going to need every minute to rehearse the musical. To their dismay, they discover that the theater is scheduled for demolition the very next day, and they don’t have the money to rent another venue! There’s only one thing to do: throw the show together in just two hours and present it to any investors who can make it on such short notice. From child actors and stage moms to confused protestors, and a bumbling demolition crew, this show takes the saying “the show must go on” to a whole new level! Directed by Beck Center’s own Russel Stich, this show is sure to bring down the house with laughter!

Tickets for Youth Theater productions are $15 for adults and $13 for children.  Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. Sundays.
