Press Release

WARSAW — The Warsaw Community High School theatre department is performing the musical “Freaky Friday” this weekend at the Performing Arts Center.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 18; 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 19; and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 20. Tickets are $15 for adults, and $10 for students and senior citizens.

The new musical, “Freaky Friday,” based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films (and developed by Disney Theatrical Productions expressly for licensing to theaters), features a book by Bridget Carpenter – the co-executive producer and writer on the beloved TV hits, “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood” – and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of “Next to Normal” and “If/Then.”

When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. “Freaky Friday” is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
