SUMMARY:MUSICAL THEATER ENSEMBLE PRESENTS "POP UP MUSICAL"
DESCRIPTION:TICKET RESERVATION LINK \nPop Up Musical\n \nIn the style of VH1’s Pop-Up Video series (and perhaps even a bit of Mystery Science Theater 3000)\, the members of Company present an energetic variety show of Broadway musical hits\, interspersed with informative “pop ups” throughout each number. The concept for this show was first conceived for the Fringe Festival in 2012 by four long-time theater friends: Jennifer Eckes\, Judi Gronseth\, Kevin Werner Hohlstein\, and Timm Holmly. The group toured the show in Minnesota and Wisconsin\, delighting audiences in several communities. This production is the Perpich Arts High School take on the original concept.

SUMMARY:DANCE PROGRAM PRESENTS "UNBEKNOWN PATHS"
DESCRIPTION:TICKET RESERVATION LINK \nUnbeknown Paths\n \nFrom all corners of the state\, the dancers of the Perpich Arts High School Dance Program are happy to present “Unbeknown Paths” on May 1 and 2\, 2025. The spring concert is the culmination of a semester of work. The dancers will demonstrate their creativity\, choreographic skills\, and performance expertise in student choreographed works\, faculty work\, and guest artist work. These dancers followed a path that somehow brought them together in the dance program at Perpich. While here\, they have leaned on\, learned from\, and grown with each other. Now\, the paths will diverge again into distinct\, beautiful paths. The works range in style\, musical choice\, and intention\, revealing the dancers’ individual accomplishments and their strong feeling of ensemble. The title\, ”Unbeknown Paths”\, refers to the feeling the students have about moving on different paths at the end of the year. The dances range from dynamic to fluid\, from formal to fun\, with a range of intensities. Congratulations to all involved with the show! \nUnbeknown Paths \nChoreography by the Perpich Arts High School dance students and guest artist: Davente Gilreath (Dance 2010) \n\nSix dancers from six Minnesota communities\nSixteen student choreographed dances\nOne guest artist\nA million ideas of inspiration\nOne community\nTwo priceless evenings\n\nDancers:\nMia Botz – Minneapolis\nSam Ek – Thief River Falls\nElla Gorter – Pipestone\nAna Kol-Balfour – Minneapolis\nAlma Soave – Minneapolis\nDani Wyborny – Big Lake \nDance Instructor – Mary Harding\nLighting Designer & Sound Board Operator – Ellie Simonett\nGuest Choreographer – Davente Gilreath \nThe Road Not Taken\nBy Robert Frost \nTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood\,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveler\, long I stood\nAnd looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth; \nThen took the other\, as just as fair\,\nAnd having perhaps the better claim\,\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;\nThough as for that the passing there\nHad worn them really about the same\, \nAnd both that morning equally lay\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.\nOh\, I kept the first for another day!\nYet knowing how way leads on to way\,\nI doubted if I should ever come back. \nI shall be telling this with a sigh\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:\nTwo roads diverged in a wood\, and I—\nI took the one less traveled by\,\nAnd that has made all the difference.

DESCRIPTION:RESERVE YOUR FREE TICKETS HERE \nGuerilla Glue: A Mixed-Media Disruption \nThe Literary Arts department is proud to present their next reading\, “Guerilla Glue: A Mixed-Media Disruption”. In this season of social tensions\, the Lit department has worked to create some space within which students could feel free to articulate their confusions\, fears\, frustrations\, and hopes.

Because their response to their world has not been limited to words on a page\, they are stretching their Literary limbs a bit and exploring some mixed-media art. They have\, as always\, addressed this head-on with the passion\, care\, creativity\, and humor we’ve all come to know and love. \nPlease join us for “Guerilla Glue: A Mixed-Media Disruption”

SUMMARY:"RUNAWAYS" MUSICAL THEATER PERFORMANCE
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETS HERE \nPerpich Arts High School Theater Ensemble presents “RUNAWAYS” \n“Runaways\,” a collage of songs\, monologues\, and scenes about children who have left home — their problems\, fantasies\, and methods of survival — is Elizabeth Swados’ total creation. “Runaways” is one person’s vision. It was her original idea and she had been working on it compulsively for years. For months in 1978-79\, Swados interviewed and observed runaways; on the basis of this research\, she wrote the words and music for the play. It started as a journey at the Public Theater in New York and transferred to Broadway in 1979 where it received numerous Tony Award nominations. \n“When creating meaning for the play ‘Runaways’\, it’s important to not just go into the inner city. Don’t look to just talk with the child whose parents abused them and don’t expect that ‘Runaways’ are only kids. Look everywhere\, in the eyes of everyone.\nStart with yourself.\nThe world is full of people running.\nYou are a world full of questions.”\n∼Elizabeth Swados\, creator of “Runaways” \nRecommended for ages 13 and above.\nContent warnings: strong language\, implied drug use\, mentions of abuse\, violence\, implied alcohol abuse. \nTickets are $10 and must be purchased ahead of time.

SUMMARY:"RUNAWAYS" MUSICAL THEATER PERFORMANCE
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETS HERE \nPerpich Arts High School Theater Ensemble presents “RUNAWAYS” \n“Runaways\,” a collage of songs\, monologues\, and scenes about children who have left home — their problems\, fantasies\, and methods of survival — is Elizabeth Swados’ total creation. “Runaways” is one person’s vision. It was her original idea and she had been working on it compulsively for years. For months in 1978-79\, Swados interviewed and observed runaways; on the basis of this research\, she wrote the words and music for the play. It started as a journey at the Public Theater in New York and transferred to Broadway in 1979 where it received numerous Tony Award nominations. \n“When creating meaning for the play ‘Runaways’\, it’s important to not just go into the inner city. Don’t look to just talk with the child whose parents abused them and don’t expect that ‘Runaways’ are only kids. Look everywhere\, in the eyes of everyone.\nStart with yourself.\nThe world is full of people running.\nYou are a world full of questions.”\n∼Elizabeth Swados\, creator of “Runaways” \nRecommended for ages 13 and above.\nContent warnings: strong language\, implied drug use\, mentions of abuse\, violence\, implied alcohol abuse. \nTickets are $10 and must be purchased ahead of time.
