June 20 – July 26, 2008
You won’t be able to resist the spoofy fun of Reefer Madness. Inspired by the
original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek
look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them
on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence.

Disney’s High School Musical
A Non-Season Special Event
Directed by Walter Graham
June 27 – July 19, 2008
Sponsored by: Don Alcorn
With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton, captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez, a beautiful and shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

Don't miss Town Theatre's summer sensation of a show. Join us as we celebrate song and dance - from Broadway to the beach, country to the classics, pop to patriotic, and much, much more. We’ll journey down memory lane with classics tried and true, showcase the talent of the Midlands and celebrate Town’s future as we present musical moments not yet seen on a Columbia stage.
Popular musical selections from Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Hairspray, Spamalot, and Les Miserables will be featured alongside tunes that sweep us back to days spent along South Carolina’s coast. We’ll pay tribute to the standards from the Great American Songbook as well as to some Broadway classics that speak of Town’s successful history in musical theatre. Celebrate!
