“Carrie: The Musical” Opens Next Thursday at RHS
Richardson High School Auditorium, 1250 W. Belt Line Rd.
Jan. 30-Feb. 2
Thursday-Saturday 7 p.m.; Sunday 2 p.m.
The RHS Theatre Collective presents, “Carrie: The Musical,” which originally premiered on Broadway in 1988 and was revised in 2012. It is based on Stephen King’s horror novel of the same name and integrates elements from the 1976 film adaptation. The musical focuses on Carrie White, a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and at home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
