Bright lights. Big Dreams. Zero backup plans. Join us as we follow a group of talented teens navigating the world of a New York City performing arts high school. From first-day jitters to show-stopping breakthroughs, these students chase spotlight moments while discovering that real success takes grit, teamwork, and a whole lot of soul. Fame costs… and these kids are ready to pay.
Fame (1980) redefined the modern movie musical. It blended street realism with exhilarating production numbers. It brought contemporary dance, pop music, and authentic teen struggles to the forefront, inspiring a generation of young performers to pursue training in the arts. It earned six Academy Award nominations, winning two, including Best Original Song for its title anthem. Building on the film's momentum, the television adaptation premiered in 1982 and ran for six seasons. It was an international hit, especially in Europe, turning the hit film into a global franchise.
Fame Jr. will run March 27-29, 2026 at Central High School Auditorium – 3101 W. Edison St. Performances are at 7:30pm on March 27th and 28th, and 3pm on March 29th. There will be a special talk back after the 3pm matinee on March 29th. General Admission (18+ years) tickets are $15 and $5 for students (5-18). To purchase tickets, click here.
