SENIOR CLASS - A WORLD PREMIER MUSICAL May 16-June 22, Olney Theater, 2001 Olney-Sandy Spring Road, Olney, MD. When budget cuts to the arts program mean their high school theatre can't pay for My Fair Lady, Colin and G.B., two Broadway-obsessed students, decide to stage their own original musical version of Shaw's Pygmalion. The search for an actress to play Eliza Doolittle leads them to a Harlem-born-and-bred subway dancer who just might be perfect - but artistic egos and high school hierarchies threaten to undermine the production before the big opening night. As the quickly-assembled coalition of theatre kids, dance crew veterans, and the occasional jock, struggles to mount their production of My Leading Lady: A New Pygmalion... with a Preface and Sequel, the class and gender divides of Shaw's original reemerge in surprising ways. Can the senior class musical be saved? (And will Colin score his much-wished-for "Jimmy") Ticket prices: $41 - $101.
