Students from Downers North High will perform the musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone” on Thursday, March 10 and Friday, March 11 at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, March 12 at 5 p.m. All shows will take place in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium. Student tickets are $7, and adult tickets are $8, and can be purchased either in the Student Activities Office or at the door.
The Drowsy Chaperone is an homage to American musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans who adore them.
The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, seeking to cure his "non-specific sadness," listens to a recording of a fictional 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. As he listens to this rare recording, he is transported into the musical. The characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into an impressive Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and glitzy costumes.
