HTC YoungStars Theatre Presents "Squeal!"

Being in a school play is a blast, but being trapped in one is no picnic! This amusing spoof within a spoof strings together misleading clues, vegetable jokes, the theory of relativity and a Hamlet-loving pig hostage in a hysterical chain of events guaranteed to make your audiences squeal with delight! After being surprise-attacked by a pig nosed maniac who leaves victims tied in string with bad jokes taped to their backs, the students set out to reveal the masked “Pigsty” who has trapped them behind the dramatic fourth wall! Is it the loopy drama teacher, Mrs. Looney, who wears a pig broach on her toga and mourns the recent departure of her pet pig? Or could it be the gruff, loud-mouthed librarian, Mrs. Shrill, who stores balls of incriminating string behind her desk? With a little help from the Squeak Chorus and the mysterious Pig in Black, Tiffany, Drew, Jamie Lee, Carrie, Jason and Norman have to learn to “think outside the script” or risk being trapped in the mysterious fourth dimension forever! From whiny and melodramatic thespians to a pair of lunch servers who get their kicks passing tofu dogs off as real meat, you’ll have riotous fun following the zany characters as they journey through the scenes to unmask the snorting villain!
 

About the Young Stars Theatre Program

The HTC YoungStars Theatre Workshop is a four week immersion into live theatre.  Students will explore various areas involved in a theatrical production such as acting, vocal work, staging, auditioning, and theatre etiquette.  While the workshop will culminate in the production of a one act play the focus of the program is not the production but learning the fundamentals of participating in live theatre.
