Summer Stars 2022

Summer Stars students are working hard to present the small-cast musical "The Trail to Oregon," with music and lyrics by Jeff Blim, and book by Jeff Blim, Matt Lang, and Nick Lang. The musical parodies the video game series The Oregon Trail. The characters' names are picked from suggestions shouted from the audience, and at the end the audience chooses which character dies (from dysentery?).

Note that the Red Curtain production uses the PG-13 version of the show. The play contains profanity, sexual innuendo, implied alcohol consumption, gun violence and other mature themes. There is implied nudity in the finale, but the cast is fully clothed throughout the performance. Strobe effects and loud bangs are used in the production. The program is directed by Scott B Randall, with musical direction by Drew Winston.

Performances are set for August 5-6, 12-13, with shows on Fridays at 7 p.m., and Saturdays at 1:00 and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors/students, and $10 for kids under 12.
