Side Show at Ashland Productions

High School Theatre and Beyond outing to see the musical Side Show at Ashland Productions:

Next Sunday, October 15th, we will be taking anyone interested (parents are welcome to come) to see the 2:00 final performance of Side Show.

The ticket price will be based on how many we can get to attend as we will be able to get a discount. It will definitely be under $20 a ticket.

Please email Mrs.Krieger at 5kriegers@gmail.com or text 651-214-9114 how many tickets you would like.

RESERVATION DEADLINE IS FAST: BY THIS TUESDAY (October 10th) PLEASE. We will arrange carpooling from school for those who want to attend.

Based on the true story of conjoined twins and famed entertainers Violet and Daisy Hilton, Side Show is a remarkable musical about acceptance, love, and embracing one’s uniqueness. As the starring act of a sideshow, helmed by an abusive ringmaster, Violet and Daisy Hilton are eager to accept an offer of fame, fortune, and potential romance proffered by Terry, a talent scout, and Buddy, a budding musician. A stunning reminder of the importance of accepting and celebrating what makes us unique, Side Show is a true story that will touch audience’s hearts.
