Local students perform in ESU musical theatre

East Stroudsburg University’s Department of Theatre, Music, and Dance will present the hit musical “Heathers.”

The cast of over 30 students, directed by Jason Narvy, assistant professor of theatre, will welcome audiences April 11-14.

Curtain times for the production are 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. All performances are in the Smith-McFarland Theatre of the university’s Fine and Performing Arts Center, Normal and Marguerite streets, East Stroudsburg.

Tickets are available online in advance at esu.edu/theatretickets. Tickets will also be available at the box office one hour before curtain on performance dates.

This dark-comedy musical, based on the 1988 cult classic film of the same name, follows Veronica Sawyer who joins, then combats the school’s most insidious clique: a group of bullies known as The Heathers.

In her journey between bullies, geeks, and goths, she finds herself aligned with a mysterious teen lover, J.D. Together, they invent a plan to weaponize the twisted suburban morality that drives their world.

The cast of ESU’s production of Heathers includes local students Logan Keim, a senior majoring in computer science, from Schnecksville, as J.D. (Jason Dean); Kate Lenway, a sophomore majoring in biology from Saylorsburg, as Principal Gowan; Allison Makula, a junior majoring in psychology from Mount Pocono, as a Cheerleader; and Alyssa Cruz, a junior majoring in psychology from Mount Pocono, as New Wave Girl.
