SBISD Fine Arts Seasonal Productions Announced

Spring Woods HS cast of The Addams Family

Ready to laugh and to be entertained? Several Spring Branch ISD high school theater groups will open the new year with a delightful set of modern musicals, musical comedies and parodies. In theater, four high schools will present new productions beginning in late January.

Elsewhere, SBISD choir, orchestra and band performances are planned for this winter and spring.

Among the shows coming soon, Memorial High School will showcase The Drowsy Chaperone, a parody of an American musical comedy of the 1920s. Northbrook High plans to present the ever popular comic strip musical, Annie. Spring Woods High thespians will bring to zany life “creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky” fun in The Addams Family. At the Stratford High Playhouse, Bye Bye Birdie will rock audiences of all ages in a family-minded show.

Later this spring, high school theater offerings will range from The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged and Disney’s High School Musical at Memorial High to the hilarious and screwball comedy of The 39 Steps at Stratford High.

The high school productions support large student casts and, in some cases, include outreach efforts to area elementary campuses. Advance tickets can be purchased online or through the following campus offices:

·         Stratford Playhouse – www.shsplayhouse.org

·         Memorial High Theater – www.mhstheatre.com

·         Spring Woods Safari Players – www.safariplayers.com/tickets
