The JCS Drama Department has Two Upcoming Productions.
First up on Thursday, April 18 at 7:00pm at the Seton YMCA Theatre is our Studio Showcase, “Love, Death, and Cowboys”. This is a collection of student written and directed pieces that deal with you guessed it… Romance, the afterlife and a western saloon. The students have such creative ideas and it’s great getting to see them come to life in this show!
Next on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26 at 7:00pm at the Seton YMCA Theatre is our mainstage production “Saltwater Shore”. This show is a comedic 80s coming-of-age beach play which tells the story of Ravi and his band of misfit coworkers, as they grapple with growing up and accepting the responsibility of adulthood. It’s a super fun show with lots of laughs and nostalgia.
Tickets can be purchased in the Drama Room (1811) or at the door on the night of the performances. We hope to see you there!
