Local teens offer four performances of Disney’s “High School Musical Jr.” this weekend as part of the Curtain Up Co.’s second season.
The group performs Friday, Aug. 7, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 8, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 9, 4 p.m., at the West Newbury Town Hall, 381 Main St., West Newbury.
Haverhill students performing are Jordan LaRocque and Libby Chadwick, both playing the role of Ms. Darbus, Madison Landry as Cathy, Laila Whitcomb as a cheerleader and Catalena Ward as Cyndra.
Curtain Up Co. is the brainchild of childhood friends Emily Cruickshank and Zoe Xydias, who are co-directing the performances. Both got their start in theater in Haverhill schools. Xydias is currently studying musical theater at the American Musical and Drama Academy in New York City. Cruickshank is a junior at Boston University.
Actors in the company range in age from 10 to 18 and hail from Haverhill and surrounding communities.
Tickets are $15 and are available at the door.
