Flapper hits the stage this weekend – along with a raffle

The young thespians of Sundance High School would like to remind the community that the first full-scale musical in 25 years will be hitting the auditorium this coming weekend. There’s also still time to show your support for the kids in the form of a raffle that will be drawn after the final performance of “Flapper” on Sunday.

The raffle is for an original Bruce Speidel painting of a bull elk laying in the snow, commissioned by the Fowlers at Sundance Hardware, says director Teresa Preisner.

“Proceeds go towards the High School Performing Arts groups, including the choirs, band and theater,” she says. “The winner will be announced live at the end of the last show.”

Flapper tells the tale of Polly Pepper, a young flapper who is about to turn 18 and inherit a diamond necklace called the ‘Ice Garden’. Trouble is brewing as mobsters are planning to snatch the necklace at Polly’s birthday party.

Three performances are planned for March 19-21 in the SHS auditorium. Two evening performances will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a matinee at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, seating will be limited and attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets at the high school in advance. Audience members will be asked to wear masks throughout the performance.

Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the office of the high school.
