Don't miss the last performance comedy of the year!
George C. Marshall High School Theater will present the musical comedy of the year, "City of Angels", the Tony Award-winning play
by Cy Coleman.
Set in Hollywood in the late 1940s, "City of Angels" is a film noir-style detective story that presents its own writer, Stine, who is having trouble transposing his book onto the big screen. In parallel, it follows the protagonist of the film, Detective Stone, on his adventures... as Stine writes. Many of the characters have a counterpart in the other world.
"City of Angels" performs May 1, 2, & 3 at 7:30 p.m. and May 4 at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for students and seniors.
Join the fun and watch these talented actors perform in the spacious auditorium this May.
Marshall High School thespians have captured the Virginia High School league group AAA state theater title five times. Marshall thespians are recognized as outstanding actors and their exceptional performances this year included student written and directed "Everything in Essence" and "You Can't Take It With You."
