The Warwick Valley High School Drama Club is thrilled to announce the
shows in its 2022-2023 theatrical season!
This fall, the Drama Club brings back its beloved children’s theater series
when it presents Goldilocks and the Three Pigs. In this fractured fairy tale, a frantic
Goldilocks runs from a witch and finds herself in the home of the Three Pigs, still
recovering from their encounter with the Big Bad Wolf. We will meet some familiar
and some new fairy tale characters as they help each other overcome obstacles and
dash their way through Storybook Land. Directing the production is Ruth Trovato,
a French teacher in the high school, and will have three performances on
November 4 and 5, 2022.
In March of 2023, the club will present for the first time the hilarious
musical, Xanadu. This Tony Award-nominated, roller skating, campy musical
adventure about following your dreams despite limitations placed on us, follows a
lost artist and his Greek muse who inspires love, laughter and the world's first
roller disco in this 1980s glitter explosion. Some of the 80s classic songs found in
the show include “I’m Alive,” “Evil Woman,” and, of course, the title song! Based
on the cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and
Gene Kelly, Xanadu is hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has
ever wanted to feel inspired.
Returning to direct the musical for his 24th year is the club’s advisor, Nick
DiLeo. Joining him are Ruth Trovato and Donna Nestor as co-producers, Beth
Maisonet as choreographer, Noreen Hanson as vocal director, and Rocco Manno
and the WVHS set design class as set creators. Xanadu will have three
performances on March 17 and 18, 2023.
Ticket purchase information will be released to the public as each
production nears. To contact the Drama Club with questions, please email them at
