Rising Star Project is a one-of-a-kind program that supports student access to a professional theater process. This year, students will work with mentors through shadowing opportunities and approximately 200 hours of rehearsal time to bring you their version of Something's Afoot after the professional cast version closes on March 24. Teens will perform on stage and in the orchestra pit, produce, direct, and work behind the scenes in technical theater and arts administrative tracks in this unique educational experience.
Show Description: Prepare to laugh until it hurts with this musical spoof of the whodunit genre. Something’s Afoot pokes fun at Agatha Christie murder mysteries; ten people are stranded in an isolated country estate during a raging thunderstorm. One by one, they are picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. As bodies pile up, the survivors frantically race to solve the mystery! Join in the tomfoolery of this farcical, raucous, and outrageous play, that will appeal to lovers of shows like Arrested Development, The Office, and Schitt’s Creek.
Children under 4, including babes in arms, will not be admitted.
