The ACMS Fine Arts Department Presents their 2024 spring musical The Big One-Oh Jr.! Based on the popular children's book by Dean Pitchford, the musical tells the story of soon-to-be 10 year old Charley Maplewood.
Charley Maplewood has never been one for parties – that would require friends, which he doesn’t have. Well, unless you count his monster friends, but they’re only imaginary. But now that he’s turning ten—the big one-oh—he decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a “House of Horrors” theme. Of course, things don’t work out as he plans. Will Charley be able to pull it together before the big one-oh . . . becomes the big OH-NO!?
Based on the beloved book, The Big One-Oh! JR. features lyrics by Academy Award-winner (Fame, Footloose) Dean Pitchford, the author of the novel; music by three-time Tony-winner Doug Besterman (The Producers, Fosse, Elf, Young Frankenstein), and a book by iTheatric's award-winning playwright Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, James and the Giant Peach).
You have 4 chances to come see this incredible cast!! Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students. Tickets can be pre-purchased in the office at ACMS or bought at the door!
Doors open at 6:00 and the show starts at 6:30 Thursday-Saturday. For the Sunday matinee, doors open at 2:30, with the show starting at 3:00.
