HILTON HEAD PREP STUDENTS TAKE THE STAGE IN INAUGURAL SHOWCASE

Patti Maurer, Hilton Head Preparatory School’s new artistic director, wanted to kick the new year off with a bang by starting a new Prep tradition: the “Fall Spectacular,” a cabaret-style revue featuring Prep students acting, dancing, singing and performing in the band and orchestra.

“For my first production at Hilton Head Prep, I wanted to provide an opportunity for a variety of talented actors, dancers, musicians and vocal students to be involved,” Maurer said.

‘THE OUTSIDERS’

AUG. 1-4

MAY RIVER THEATRE CO. PRESENTS NEW SUMMER SHOW

This summer, May River Theatre presents “The Outsiders,” a classic coming-of-age story based on a novel by S.E. Hinton and focused on themes of class conflict, acceptance, and loyalty.

“’The Outsiders’ has been a part of our school curriculum for years and is a staple of modern American literature that is loved by all ages,” said director Michelle McElroy, who recently directed Main Street Youth Theatre’s production of “High School Musical.” “It is also holds great relevance to many American struggles today.”
