Plymouth North High School Players

Plymouth North Players has an excellent year planned! Kicking it off with an early start to the school year is a student run fundraising production of SIX: THE MUSICAL. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Six wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st-century girl power! The show runs on Friday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th at 7:00. Raising funds for the Orlando choral trip planned for the end of March. Get ready to rock! Next up is the play Suite Surrender. It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance…that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. This is a hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s. Get ready to laugh! Last but certainly not least is the musical production of Hadestown! This acclaimed musical intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. It is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go. It’s going to be otherworldly! Hope to see you all at the theatre!
