[412] This weekend -- you gotta make time to see the Schenley High School Musical -- historic and fantastic!

[412] This weekend -- you gotta make time to see the Schenley High School Musical -- historic and fantastic!:
Find time this weekend, at 8 pm on May 1, 2 or 3 (Thurs, Fri or Sat) to go see the Schenley High School musical, "All Shook Up." It is fantastic.

My son saw "Hairspray" when the professional production was in town this winter and he thinks the local high school kids presented a better show.

Furthermore, Schenley High School, as we know it, is GONE after this school year. This gives residents from around the region to see a top flight program in a classic, city setting. Suburban friends need to see this show too. I don't want to dwell on the politics of the school closure and how wrong that decision is because the message is all about the kids, the music, the teamwork and the fun you'll have watching them perform.

If you like Elvis music, live theater, poking fun at the mayor, wonderful singing, and a splendid community time -- go. Take your kids. Take a date. Go alone. We didn't need to reserve our seats, just show up at the door and plunk down seven bills.

As a recent alum, I want to say thanks for going out to support the musical - I'd have given my right leg to be there myself, so I hope as many people as possible see it before it's gone.
