High School Musical 2:
The phenomenon continues!

The summer is going to be hot inside Workshop Theatre as it is transformed into the Lava Springs Country Club for Disney’s High School Musical 2, which will run July 10-25.

High School Musical 2 is a fun and fresh new stage version of the record-breaking Disney Channel original movie.  School's out, and Troy, Gabriella and the rest of the East High Wildcats are spending the summer working at the local country club, which is owned by Ryan and Sharpay's family.  With the club's annual talent show right around the corner, things begin to really heat up when Troy agrees to sing with Sharpay.  Will Troy and Gabriella realize that they're meant to be together, or is it too late for them to sing one last song together?  Complete with electrifying dance numbers and popular songs from the top-selling CD, Disney’s High School Musical 2 features numerous talented teen and adult performers from throughout the Midlands.

Elmwood Avenue: We're almost ready for our opening act... All we need is some make-up to add the finishing touches!

For the past three months, our Board President, Jack Jansen, has been working diligently from dawn to dusk with carpenters, roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists and pest control companies to complete renovations of our 635 Elwood Avenue site. Once completed, the facility will serve as a consolidated location for our performing arts school, rehearsal space, costume and set storage, and shop.

We have made tremendous progress. The entire building has a new roof; all-new electrical wiring and service have been installed; a new HVAC system has been installed; the school space - complete with lobby and three studios - has been totally gutted, reconfigured, sheet-rocked and received a primer coat of paint; and new light fixtures have been installed throughout the interior and exterior of the building.

Termite damage has been removed, all affected woodwork has been replaced, and the entire facility has been treated against further infestations. A unisex restroom has been reconfigured for handicapped, and new fixtures have been installed. The grounds have been cleared of debris and overgrowth. New safety doors have been installed throughout the building.

With a few finishing touches, the building will be ready for us to move in - but...

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The interior and exterior of the building need to be painted. All of the remaining weeds need to be cleared. Foundation planting and enhancements need to be added. That’s all it will take for us to have three beautiful new studio spaces and a spacious lobby where parents, guardians and siblings can wait for their children or friends. A reception desk will be manned at all times during classes, and safety doors will not allow entrance to the facility without admission by the receptionist. In addition, motion-detector lights are being installed around the entire perimeter of the building.

To learn more about how you can help with our "finishing touches," download our brochure, complete with before-and-after photos of the new facility.
