Join Iola Community Theatre on the front steps of East High as the Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and open ICT’s 44th season with Disney’s "High School Musical On Stage".
In Ms. Darbus’s homeroom, basketball team captain Troy discovers that Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The plot thickens as competing interests pull us into this stage version of the hit Disney movie with great songs, dancing and fun for kids of all ages (think of it as the 'Grease' of today's generation).
"High School Musical," is by David Simpatico, based on the original Disney Channel movie by Peter Barsocchini, with songs by Matthew Gerrard, Robbie Nevil, Ray Cham, Greg Cham, Andrew Seeley, Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, Andy Dodd, Adam Watts, Bryan Louiselle, David N. Lawrence, Faye Greenberg and Jamie Houston, music adapted, arranged and produced by Bryan Louiselle.

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind.
Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Variety called it "[A] wonderfully funny…ambitiously constructed work…"
"Proof" was also produced as an award winning film in 2005 starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Hope Davis

 Featuring the Songs of Neil Sedaka
|
Set at a Catskills resort in 1960, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" is the sweetly comic story of Lois and Marge, two friends in search of good times and romance over one crazy Labor Day weekend. The score showcases 18 Neil Sedaka classics, including "Where the Boys Are," "Sweet Sixteen," "Calendar Girl," and, of course, the chart-topping title song.
"An abundance of warmth, spirit and goodwill! ... Some of the most engaging and instantly infectious melodies I've heard in an original musical in some time." USA Today.
