The Manchester High School Drama Club is at it again! This spring they will be presenting the musical Anything Goes, featuring music and lyrics by Cole Porter.

Grab your luggage and don’t forget your passport as you sail away with a sinner, a saint, a criminal, and a chameleon all the way to London. Hope Heartcourt (Leah Nitchie) is sailing with her fiancé Evylen Oakleigh (Skylyr Zinc) and her mother, Mrs. Heartcourt (Audrey Pierce). The couple is sailing to be married in London; there’s just one problem: Hope loves someone else – an assistant Wall Street stock broker named Billy Crocker (Zachary Allen). Reno Sweeny (Cameron Denby) is a night club owner who hasn’t quite converted over to Christianity with all her angels, who are anything but.

Moonface Martin (Dalton Tungate) is Public Enemy Number 13, hiding away with his sidekick, Bonnie (Ava Sharrow-Ducsay), awaiting their boss, Public Enemy Number 1. Follow this motley crew as they get their sea legs on this fantastic journey of love, deception, and learning to follow your heart – wherever that may take you.

All these students, and more, have worked tirelessly to create a wonderful show, so come out and watch as they all come to life on, not a stage, but an enormous steam ship headed to London! The show opens on Friday, April 22 at 7 pm, continues on Saturday, April 23 at 7 pm, and concludes with a matinee show on Sunday, April 24 at 2 pm. Adult tickets are $10, tickets for seniors and students are $8.
