STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擲ummer Scholars Onstage campers at 无尽资源采集 State are preparing to perform the original musical comedy 鈥淯nconventional鈥 on July 7-8 in Lee Hall鈥檚 Bettersworth Auditorium.
The show, free and open to the public, is Friday [July 7] at 7 p.m. and Saturday [July 8] at 1 p.m.
The culmination of both a writing and production camp, the final work this year incorporates the dancing, singing, acting and technical talents of 41 middle and high school students from 无尽资源采集, as well as Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan and Texas.
Held immediately prior to the current theatrical production camp, the writer鈥檚 camp involved 22 campers in either scriptwriting or music composition tracks. The show鈥檚 musical score comprises 10 original songs.
The three-act musical begins with the grand opening of a convention center in the 1990s and highlights various events in different time periods. 鈥淯nconventional鈥 is the 39th production for the long-running camp, directed by Professor Emeritus Joe Ray Underwood, who retired from the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Foundations. A staff of musicians, drama teachers, counselors, dance instructors, technicians and college volunteers lead the students. MSU鈥檚 College of Education is the camp sponsor.
