“It is so amazing to see people come together and work as a community in order to give the students of our school opportunities such as performing in Tarzan: the Musical. We are blessed to have the enthusiasm and support of so many and I am looking forward to seeing that support come to life at our upcoming dinner fundraiser!” says director Amy Effler. “I do believe that after this fundraiser- everyone in attendance will be equally as excited for the show as our wonderful and talented cast. It is truly rare to see middle and high schoolers work together in such a way. They leave me in awe every day! Please come out on February 19th and support the St. Michaels Middle High School Drama Department and share in our excitement!”
Tarzan: The Musical is based on the Disney film of the same name, which is, in turn, adapted from the 1914 novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The songs are written by Phil Collins with a book by David Henry Hwang. The musical mostly follows the plot of the Disney film: Tarzan is raised by gorillas, meets Jane, a young English naturalist, and falls in love. Jane’s entourage plans to kill the gorillas, and Tarzan’s loyalties are tested. The performance will be at the St Michaels Middle High School Theatre Friday and Saturday, February 26-27 at 7pm and the following weekend Friday and Saturday, March 4-5 at 7pm with a matinee performance Sunday, March 6 at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
