West Plains, Mo. – West Plains High School started out 2020 strong, after the pandemic hit. The school board and administration continued doing what they could to ensure students could come to school and do everything they loved to do before. After everything that has gone on this school year, and despite the lack of a proper stage, the dramatics group has continued their plans to put on a show.
Little Women: The Broadway Musical, based on the novel by Louise May Alcote, is going to be presented by the West Plains High School Dramatics Theatre Company in the West Plains Elementary School’s gym.
Show dates are Thursday, November 12 , Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14 – all starting at 7pm. The final date to watch the show is Sunday, November 15 – at 2pm.
Tickets are $.8.00 at the door, and $6.00 in advance. Active military, senior citizens and children 12 and under only have to pay a $4.00 fee.
The show is presented through a specialized arrangement with the Music Theatre International (MTI), and all authorized materials were supplied by them as well.
The musical will be directed by Andy Hanson, a drama teacher & speech/debate coach for West Plains High School. He is assisted by Shane Comer, a social studies teacher – also at West Plains High School. The music will be directed by Jordan Hall, the choir teacher for the middle & high school.
