FAIR OAKS, CA (MPG) - Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center and Valkyrie Theatre Company will present a summer musical theatre workshop for middle and high school students featuring “Disney’s High School Musical On Stage!” licensed through Music Theatre International.

The workshop runs July 13–31, with public performances scheduled July 31–August 9 at the Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center.

This production will mark a special milestone for the newly opened Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center amphitheatre. After launching with a series of wonderful outdoor concerts, “Disney’s High School Musical On Stage!” will be the amphitheatre’s first outdoor play/musical production, bringing live theatre to the space for the first time.

Designed for middle and high school students, the workshop offers a fun, fast-paced musical theatre experience where young performers build skills in acting, singing, dance, teamwork and stage performance while rehearsing one of Disney’s most popular stage musicals.

“Disney’s High School Musical On Stage!” follows the students of East High as basketball captain Troy Bolton and brainy newcomer Gabriella Montez challenge expectations by auditioning for the school musical. With high-energy songs, large ensemble numbers, and themes of friendship, identity and finding your voice, the show gives young performers a chance to shine both individually and as part of a company.

Valkyrie Theatre Company’s education programs focus on creating accessible, supportive theatre experiences for young people, helping students grow in confidence, collaboration and creativity. The summer workshop is open to students interested in performing, whether they are new to theatre or already have stage experience.

“Musical theatre gives students a place to take risks, work as a team and discover what they are capable of,” said Alison Gilbreath of Valkyrie Theatre Company. “’High School Musical’ is a perfect workshop show because it is full of energy, recognizable music and roles that let young performers feel part of something exciting. We are especially excited that this will be the first play/musical staged outdoors in the new Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center amphitheatre.”

Registration is now open. Families can learn more and register by visiting: fairoaksarts.org
