As everyone listens to their favorite holiday tunes, the Robinson Thespian Troupe 2660 prepares to bring you those songs live in their Winter Showcase. Broadway Knights, a variety show showcasing competition numbers, would usually be held in early October, but due to auditorium complications, the schedule has been altered and Broadway Knights won’t be until spring, next semester.
To hold people off, the thespian troupe has brought back the Holiday Showcase, which they haven’t done since 2018. The showcase is a variety show complete with Christmas songs, different performances and a medieval medley. The entire event lasts about an hour and a half, just long enough to include all your favorite holiday jingles.
This year’s showcase will be held on Dec. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. For students and staff, tickets cost $5 in advance and general admission is $10. Tickets will be available at the door.
The students have been working on their performances all year in preparation for the event.
“All of the performances we’ll be presenting have gone to competitions and done well enough to go to states. We hope that we’ll raise enough money from the showcase to go to states again this year,” said sophomore thespian, Jules Navarte.
The green signs hung around school promoting the event read “All I Want for Christmas is to Go to States!” All the funds raised from the showcase will go towards the troupe attending the Florida State Thespian Competition in March.
The performances will consist of monologues, large group numbers and some dialogue pieces. Some are Christmas-themed, and some are past performances that have become staple skits. Everyone in the troupe is involved in the performance somehow.
Make sure to buy a ticket to familiarize yourself with the culture at Robinson and witness the talent of some of your fellow students.
