Based on the hit Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s.

Audiences will immediately be transported to the 80’s when they see the colorful, playful elements of the set. The score honors the exciting pop and rock music from the time. And who doesn’t love a romantic comedy?
The musical version of this story captures all of these elements while reminding us the good guy can get the girl.
The Wedding Singer showcases the triple theatre training our students receive. The show demands skillful singing, acting and dancing and this cast shines in all areas!”

"Leaving Iowa"
2025-11-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Carroll High School, 4524 Linden Ave., Dayton, OH, 45432, United States
The spark behind Leaving Iowa comes from being children of parents from the now dubbed “greatest generation.” The story is a toast to their idealism and character and a little roast of their undying dedication to the classic family road trip. More specifically, it is the story of Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, who returns home and decides to finally take his father’s ashes to his childhood home, as requested. But when Don discovers Grandma’s house is now a grocery store, he begins traveling across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father. This father-and-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don’s memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don’s existential journey leads him to reconcile his past and present at the center of the United States. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth.
Cost: $12 for Adults, and $10 for Students and Senior Citizens

Footloose” is based on the 1984 film of the same name and features music by Tom Snow and lyrics by Dean Pitchford. The story follows Ren McCormack, a city teenager who relocates from Chicago to the small town of Bomont with his mother after his father abandons them. Ren’s arrival in Bomont introduces him to a conservative community led by Reverend Shaw Moore, who has enforced a ban on dancing following a tragic accident that claimed the lives of several teenagers, including his own son.
Upon arriving in Bomont, Ren quickly realizes that the town’s strict rules and the Reverend’s influence stifle the youth’s freedom. He befriends Willard Hewitt, a local who becomes his ally, and Ariel, the Reverend’s rebellious daughter, who is caught between her father’s expectations and her desire for independence. As Ren learns about the town’s history and the reasons behind the dancing ban, he becomes determined to challenge the status quo and bring joy back to the community through dance.
