Main Street Theatre Company is thrilled to bring the phenomenon of Disney's High School Musical to our stage!
Troy Bolton, the star basketball captain, and Gabriella Montez, the academically-gifted new girl, shatter East High's cliques when they secretly audition for the school musical. Their brave choice to follow a new path causes an uproar, challenging the school's rigid social hierarchy—from the drama club to the jocks and the brainiacs. This production is a vibrant, fun, and energetic reminder that you don't have to choose between your friends, your interests, or your dreams. It's time to Break Free and celebrate being yourself!
