Disney's High School Musical Jr.

Embassy Theatre and Fort Wayne Youtheatre partner to present this 60-minute version of the Disney Channel's smash hit musical phenomenon featuring the students of East High. This performance features the talents of area youths in grades 6-8, following the students' two-week summer musical camp work led by local directors Renee Gonzales, Elaine Gerken and Christopher Murphy. 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. The show's infectious, danceable songs are sure to engage performers and audiences alike.
