Members of Lawrence High School choirs will hit the stage Thursday, Friday and Saturday with “Showtime,” the choral department’s annual variety show.
Although the show was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, students and teachers have worked together to produce “Showtime” since 1974.
This year’s program boasts a cast of more than 90 students and a setlist of 35 numbers, not including the traditional opening and closing songs.
Members of advanced choir classes will perform songs by Amy Winehouse, NSync, Billy Joel and many others in between.
The show consists of Concert Choir, Bellissima Treble Choir and A Cappella Choir singers. Students from these groups collaborate to create acts of their own; they’re then selected to perform after auditioning.
Auditorium doors open at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 27-29, at the high school, 1901 Louisiana St. The shows start at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $10 and are available for purchase at the door on show nights. Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, and the high school’s finance office also have tickets for sale.
