Blair High School: Ovations 2014: The Great Broadway Musical!

Each spring Blair High School students present a stunning musical theatre production, Ovations. This year’s Ovations includes highlights from Fiddler On The Roof, West Side Story, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and more.

The shows will take place Thursday, April 24, Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26; all shows are at 7:30 p.m. Ovations 2014 returns to our very own Blair amphitheatre, complete with dinners for purchase at 6:30 pm.

Tickets are $10 each, available for prepurchase from any of the 53(!) cast members or at the shows. Tickets are good for any one of the three performances. Tickets are also available for purchase online.

Ovations is directed by Blair instructor Ms. Benita Scheckel. Also Blair’s choir instructor and International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme Coordinator, each year Ms. Scheckel inspires students to reach high standards. Ovations is staged with professional choreography, lights, orchestra and sound.

The cast includes Blair students from 6th grade all the way to 12th grade. In addition to the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme, Blair offers the Health Careers Academy and Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy. Students from Culinary Arts will help cater the Ovations dinners.

Ovations receives funding from the Blair LEARNs after school program, a Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts grant and others, but needs additional support. Encourage performing arts in the public schools by being in the audience! These nights of musical theatre under the stars are the best entertainment deal in town.
