“Urinetown� at Greeley

September
24
Most schools do their big musicals in March or April.

At Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, the spring musical is a seniors-only affair: Last spring, director Chris Schraufnagel led something like 130 soon-to-be graduates through “Once Upon a Mattress.”

Greeley’s all-school musical is done in the fall. This year they present “Urinetown,” on Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 16 at 8 p.m., and Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. The school is at 70 Roaring Brook Road, Chappaqua, a stone’s throw from Reader’s Digest.

To purchase tickets, which are $10, call 914-861-9425 or download order form, under “Box Office,” at www.chappaqua.k12.ny.us/hg/faculty/theater/index.htm. For additional information, contact chschraufnagel@ccsd.ws.

Incidentally, the play-reading committee has narrowed down the contenders for the spring musical to:

A) “Pippin,” the musical version of the story of Charlemagne’s son who’s in search of his own corner of the sky;

B) “Good News,” a Roaring Twenties musical involving a high school football star in need of tutoring; or

C) “Annie Get Your Gun,” Irving Berlin’s anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better musical about a gun-toting, sharpshootin’ female.

Greeley seniors vote next month.

If it involves theater in any way -- from grade-schoolers learning Shakespeare to high school musicals to Broadway veterans getting into character -- this is the place to talk about it. We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
