A small-town high school girl discovers she has telekinetic powers and uses them to get back at her bullying high school classmates and her tyrannical mother, in this musical adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel and the film based on it.

Adapted from Stephen King's 1974 novel, "Carrie the Musical" follows a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it. With a book by Lawrence D. Cohen, lyrics by Dean Pitchford, and music by Michael Gore, Carrie The Musical the classic underdog story, with a twist.

Carrie will be presented in the Fine Arts Instructional Center's Proscenium Theater from November 30-December 3, 2023; November 30 at 5:30pm and December 1 & 2 at 7:30pm and December 3 at 5:00pm.
