Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce the third production of their 2021-2022 Youth Theater Season.<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-theater> The 73rd season continues with the beloved musical that started it all for so many fans of musical theater. Disney's High School Musical<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-shows/highschool> with a book written by David Simpatico, songs by Gerrard Robbie, Nevil Ray Cham, Andrew Seeley, Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, Adam Watts, Jamie Houston, Andy Dodd, with music adapted, arranged, and produced by Bryan Louiselle,is based on the Disney Channel Original Movie, written by Peter Barsocchini, running March 18 to March 27, 2022, in the Senney Theater.

Disney's High School Musical,<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-shows/highschool> is directed by Patrick Ciamacco, with musical direction by Anthony Trifiletti, and choreography by Katie Gibson.

Mr. Ciamacco says<http://www.blankcanvastheatre.com/mission-history/>, "The play reminds me of the struggles and excitement of high school, a place where one is challenged with discovering who they are and where they fit in. Sometimes we feel lost or out of place, and we find ourselves longing to try something new. This show shows you can be brave enough to withstand the criticism and break free from the status quo. When this occurs, and people come together with a common purpose, there grows tremendous strength and unity amidst diversity."
