Wednesday, November 6, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 13 High school presents ‘Freaky Friday’ next week By Charlie Kanzig Correspondent The Sisters High School music and fine arts depart- ments will present the musi- cal rendition of <Freaky Friday,= set for performances November 14-17 at the Sisters High School auditorium. According to choir direc- tor Rick Johnson, more than 70 different high school stu- dents are involved in the production and have been working since last May to prepare for the stage version of Disney9s Freaky Friday. Film productions of Freaky Friday were released in both 1976 and 2003 and are based on a book by Mary Rogers published in 1972 by the same title. The films were not set to music, but Disney Theatrical Productions cre- ated the stage adaptation and the musical opened for the first time in 2016. The storyline centers on a mother (Katherine) who is an over-worked, stressed-out wedding planner, and her teenage daughter (Ellie), who mysteriously and magically swap bodies the day before the mother is to be married in a wedding she happens to be planning for herself. The swap occurs when a magi- cal hourglass is broken dur- ing an argument between Katherine and Ellie. Until the twin to the broken magical hourglass can be found and the swap undone, the mother and daughter are forced to act like each other, resulting in endless awkwardness and hilarity. With less than 24 hours to get back to normal, the action has pressing urgency. Sarah Kissinger plays Katherine and Sasha Stolasz is the daughter Ellie. Other leads include Ian Cash as Ellie9s heartthrob Adam, Ashton King as the step- father-to-be Mike, and Lauren Sat., Nov. 16 • 6:30 p.m. Dry Canyon Stampede Western dancing on the sprung wood fl oor!
