High School Musical this January

The Act Too Players (ATP), Williamson County’s premier training program for all youths

interested in the performing arts will take the stage in January with the mounting of Disney’s High School Musical. The productions will run from January 23rd through January 25

located in Downtown Franklin, Tennessee.

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 extra curricular 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, 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 with songs like We’re All in This Together, Start of Something New, and Get Your Head in the Game.

This production of High School Musical is being performed by youth members of the Act Too Players School of Music and Theatre. The Act Too Player’s youth programming is designed to give each student the opportunity for a well-rounded performing arts education.

Act Too Players will also be producing Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Zombie Prom, Disney’s 101 Dalmatians Kids, and the non-musical Wizard of Oz this January. This series of productions will be performed January 16th through January 25th with various show times which can be found on the Franklin Theatre website.  Ticket prices range from $13 dollar tickets to $25 tickets for the cabaret seating at the front of the audience.
