JR
Main Stage Production: Xanadu Jr (Grades 8-12)
Teen artists (rising 8th through 12th grade) will have the opportunity to perform in Charleston's inaugural production of... Xanadu Jr at the historic College of Charleston Sottile Theatre!
Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sister muses take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds. Will she receive the grand gift that Zeus revealed she is destined one day to receive - the greatest gift possible - the gift of “Xanadu”?
With original legendary, chart-topping tunes including those of Olivia Newton John and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
