Photo Flash: Des Moines Playhouse Presents High School Musical 2

By:

The Des Moines Playhouse celebrates summer with the family musical phenomenon, "Disney's High School Musical 2," July 17-Aug. 9. Tickets may be purchased at The Playhouse ticket office, by phone at 515-277-6261, and online at www.dmplayhouse.com. "Disney's High School Musical 2" is sponsored by Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa.

School's out! Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, and Kelsi are spending the summer together, working at Lava Springs Country Club, owned by Sharpay and Ryan Evans's dad. As Mr. Evans, who heads the college scholarship committee, befriends Troy, Sharpay also sets her sights on the Wildcats basketball star. Will it mean the end of Troy and Gabriella when Troy agrees to sing with Sharpay in the club's annual talent show?

"Disney's High School Musical 2" is a fun and fresh new stage version of the hugely popular movie. The Playhouse is proud to present this sequel to our record-setting summer 2007 musical, "Disney's High School Musical."

The "Disney's High School Musical 2" cast of 22 features Dustin Thomas as Troy Bolton, Kelsey Waugaman as Gabriella Montez, Katelyn Thompson as Sharpay Evans, Michael Heath as Chad Danforth, and Noby Edwards as Taylor McKessie. The show is directed by Todd Buchacker, with musical direction by Brenton Brown, and choreography by David Decker.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
