About the Show

This season’s production, Disney’s High School Musical Jr., brings Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical to life on stage. Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities. The show’s infectious, danceable songs are sure to engage our Glen Ellyn Theatre Company performers and audiences alike. (Music Theatre International).
