One of the world’s most iconic and longest-running musicals, LES MISÉRABLES tells the story of Jean Valjean, a former convict who spends a lifetime seeking redemption. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France and the aftermath of the French Revolution, this timeless story of intertwined destinies reveals the power of compassion and the quiet evil of indifference to human suffering. Performed in over 40 countries and 22 languages, and with a lush, swelling score that features such famed songs as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” and “Bring Him Home,” LES MIS brings Victor Hugo’s revolutionary novel blazingly to life.
The Sunday, April 29 performance will be interpreted in American Sign Language.

A town hall meeting in Anytown, USA provides the dramatic context for a panoply of songs in a wide range of musical styles and genres, whose cleverly constructed lyrics explore a vast array of contemporary hot-button social issues. Both ends of the political spectrum are satirically skewered over the course of the story, but the show offers sympathy to each side as well. Approaching its varied topics with wit and good humor, this full-length original musical by Jason Powell attempts to throw a rope-bridge over the ever-widening chasm of misunderstanding between the right and the left in modern-day politics.
This production featuring Pius XI Catholic High School students will travel with the American High School Theater Festival to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, 2018! All proceeds from this performance will help defray travel expenses as the students and directors travel to Scotland.
