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

Johnson says it picked the
play for its comedy, fantastic
music, and tear-jerking lyrics.
<Students and parents alike
will be able to relate to the
themes in the storyline,= he
said. <It9s fun but also touch-
ing to the heart.=
<We want to make sure
everyone in the commu-
nity has an opportunity to
enjoy this production,= said
Johnson. <It is certainly open
to all ages.=
He also deeply encour-
ages people to come in sup-
port of the effort the kids
have put in to prepare for the
performance.
<Everyone, from the
actors to the band members,
We want to make
sure everyone in the
community has an
opportunity to enjoy this
production. It is certainly
open to all ages.
— Rick Johnson
to the artists and the back-
stage helpers have worked so
hard to make this happen, so
I sincerely hope people will
come out to support them and
enjoy the show.=
