First Act – High School Musical Jr.
It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. 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. The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. 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.
First Act – 9 to 5
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
newEar Concert
Featuring Yotam Haber’s Estro Poetico-armonico III, this program is one of newEar’s most ambitious concerts in years. The central theme in Yotam’s Poetico-armonico series is a musical dialogue with the past. A centuries long game of telephone of Jewish music and customs. Performing this epic work is made possible with support by the Azrieli Foundation. The work is paired with music from some of the most engaging Canadian and Jewish composers of our time.
Dance Expressions Recitals
The annual dance recital is at the end of the main season. It is a special performance where dancers showcase the skills and routines they’ve worked hard on throughout the year. It’s a celebratory event for students to perform on stage in costume, build confidence, and share their progress with family and friends. The recital highlights each class’s choreography and gives every dancer the chance to shine.
Chamber Recital
Featuring music by Heggie, Linthicum-Blackhorse, Uebayashi, Hahn, Lecuonda
