Santa Cruz High presents “Lucky Stiff”

 
May 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th at 7:00 PM
Santa Cruz High Auditorium
415 Walnut Ave, Santa Cruz

Lucky Stuff May 2013It’s a comedy, it’s a murder mystery, it’s a musical! This zany, fun-filled musical play is full of one-liners and witty lyrics. Join us for a wild trip to Monte Carlo where Harry Witherspoon, played by Sam Oshins, tries to win his multi-million dollar inheritance. Julie Chase plays Annabel Glick, the dedicated Universal Dog Home’s philanthropist, who is also competing for the money. Gambling, guns, girls, and glitz plus a hilarious case of mistaken identity make this an evening of inspired musical theater lunacy not to be missed.

“Lucky Stiff” is a classic musical farce based on the novel, “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo” by Michael Butterworth. Award-winning creative team Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty turn it into an upbeat musical production. Student directors Rose Fitzmaurice & Gillian Rexroad set the stage for this fun production with live music and fetching choreography by Simon Harrison. The Santa Cruz High School Theater Committee is a student run organization. All proceeds support the theater program which is open to all SCHS students, providing arts enrichment and educational opportunities.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for students and children, $8 with ASB card and senior citizens. Free parking available next to the theater. Tickets may be purchased at the door. The SCHS Auditorium is wheelchair accessible.
