High School Musical, Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on the Mount Vernon Community Children's Theatre (MVCCT) stage this fall! The students of East High must deal with issues of love, friends, and family while balancing their classes and extra curricular activities. Troy, the resident jock and brainy Gabriella, cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. High School Musical is fun for the whole family.
