The Children's Theatre of Southern Maryland (CTSMD) is set to captivate audiences with its latest mainstage production, "Disney's High School Musical On Stage." Scheduled performances are on April 19, 20, 26, and 27 at the Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown, MD. This marks the nonprofit organization's fourth major production since its establishment in 2021, showcasing its continued dedication to providing enriching theatrical experiences in the region.
"High School Musical" narrates the tale of Troy Bolton, a star athlete, and Gabriella Montez, a studious newcomer, who discover a mutual passion for singing during a holiday karaoke event. Upon their return to school, the duo decides to audition for the school's musical, facing challenges from the envious Sharpay Evans, who schemes to derail their auditions. The story unfolds around their struggles to balance their newfound interest in the arts with their commitments to the basketball team and the academic decathlon.
