Les Miserables

This Tony Award-winner is set to gorgeous, stirring music. Among the most famous songs are I Dreamed a Dream, One Day More, and On My Own.

Stage Door Conservatory / Teens on Stage presents
Grease
Grease follows the lives of the senior class of Rydell High as they learn about "being cool," acceptance and the sometimes heart-wrenching perils of teenage love.
This production will be performed with exuberant enthusiasm by a talented cast of high-school actors with direction from Simon Kaplan and Jeremiah Clauss, musical direction by Rona Siddiqui and choreography by Jermeiah Clauss.
Grease had its Broadway premiere in 1972, gaining notoriety as an American musical classic with its irresistible mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s pop culture. Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey created a perfect period piece - a pastiche of the 1950s: "fast, furious and thrilling, an injection of raw energy...and fun, fun, fun," according to a review in The Daily Mirror.
We hope you will enjoy Stage Door's version of this popular play.
Tickets prices: Adult tickets $15, Children/Student/Senior $10.
For advance tickets go to www.stagedoorconservatory.org or call 510-521-6250. Day-of-show tickets and will-call box office opens 1 hour before each performance. Stage Door Conservatory accepts cash, check and credit card (VISA, MasterCard and American Express).
Special Ticket Price Information:
A limited number of tickets with assigned seating in the first three rows are available for $25.00.

Don't miss our Teen Ensemble in this irreverent, outrageous and wickedly modern musical.

Footloose
Based on the movie, this high-energy musical tells the story of a free-spirited teenager and his friends who remind a local minister that it's no sin to be young. The emotional heart of Footloose is a story of acceptance and understanding which is sure to delight.
Footloose is being presented by Stage Door Conservatory as a part of its 2009 programs and will be performed by a talented cast of middle and high-school actors with direction from Simon Kaplan, musical direction by Teresa Ames and choreography by Katie Kimball.
In 1984, the movie captured the heart of America and made it beat to the music of a solid-gold soundtrack with songs like Let's Hear it For the Boy, Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, and the title song. Put a little dance in your step as Stage Door Conservatory's young actors cut loose.
