Achieving unity amidst diversity - the essence of “High School Musical on stage.”  The play takes you back in the adventure and excitement of high school; a place where one is faced with discovering who they are and where they fit in. Often this self discovery results in cliques. We see this attitude equally displayed by the students and the adults. To break free from this status quo and achieve togetherness, there has to be one brave enough to withstand the criticism that will come to him or her and lead the way. In spite of their differences, the impossible becomes possible because “We are all in this together.”

In three months, our awesome cast and crew worked so hard in completing this production to end our school year.  This is Mater Dei Catholic High School's second musical theater performance. 

I am so proud of the cast and crew who put in their time, talent and effort in making this production a success.

Synopsis:

Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on the stage! Troy, Gabriella, and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.

It's the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. 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. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that is being led by Ms. Darbus. 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.
