Ducktails & Bobby Sox: A Fabulous Fifties Musical
SCC Stagehands musical is Ducktails and Bobbysocks - a rocking 1950’s musical. The play will take place at St. John Theatre in March. Tickets are $10.
The overall goal is to promote live theatre among our students. The young people of today search for inspiration in a world in which other media awaits them. Live theatre is as important as ever in a world full of iPhones, iPads, and Facebook. As active theatre participants rather than as passive watchers of social media, we can feed the mind, hold fast the attention, and refresh the human spirit.
Theatre projects develop and nurture a joy and love for the performing arts. According to the American Alliance for Theatre and Education, the positive effects of theatre education on high school students’ academic achievement is significant. In fact, the American Alliance for Theatre sites studies that show “In addition to having higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not experience the arts, students who participate in drama often experience improved reading comprehension, maintain better attendance records, and stay generally more engaged in school than their non-arts counterparts.”
