So you think you're a Star Wars fan. You have the lunchboxes, Legos, and bobble heads. You can identify any quote just by the first two words. You've mastered the grammatical intricacies of Wookieese.
But if you think you've seen and done all things Star Wars - think again.
The thespians of Salem High School debut the musical parody of “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” starting Thursday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m.
In this production, performed by Thespian Troup no. 5120, not only do Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader sing and dance, Stormtroopers bust a move to Thriller, and audiences will be treated to a Light Saber ballet.
How many of your other Star Wars buddies can say they've seen that?
Directed by Pete Talton and written and adapted for stage by Talton, Avery Reagan, Drew Allen, Paul Hathorn, Jaten Dimsdale and Kyle Keirsey, this parody doesn't hesitate to mix pop and musical numbers from other well-known musicals, drawing on the improv and comedy tradition of throwing together mismatching materials and seeing what sticks.
The Millennium Falcon cockpit will also be available for a photo opportunity after the show.
Performances are Thursday through Saturday March 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 at 7 p.m. and Sundays on March 13 and 20 at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for general audience members and $8 for students. They can be ordered by clicking here or calling 770-616-0302.
