Synopsis:

The Disney Channel's smash hit musical comes to life on stage at the Flickinger!

 On the front steps of East High, it’s the first day after winter break. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new year. But Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez - unbeknownst to their fellow classmates - are about to throw a huge monkey wrench into the accepted order of things at East High. It seems that while vacationing with their families, Troy (the Jock) and Gabriella (the Braniac) meet and discover a mutual love of karaoke.  When they return to school and decide to try out for the winter musical, they threaten to totally disrupt the social order of East High’s highly stratified (though unofficial) “caste system.”  Finding their assigned “roles” confining, they risk ridicule and derision in an effort to break out of their respective cliques.  Despite the efforts of other students to thwart their plans and maintain the “status quo”, Troy and Gabriella succeed in resisting all of the peer pressure and petty rivalries.  In doing so, they inspire others to be true to themselves and follow their dreams.

Tickets ($10.00 each) can be obtained from the Flickinger Center for the Performing Arts or TLC in the White Sands Mall,  approximately one month before opening night, and at the box office one hour before each show.
