The theater-going experience is changing. Yes, this is true. Would I lie to you?
Right before our very eyes, shows are evolving past the usual sit-back-and-relax style that we’ve been accustomed to. This weekend, the tables are being turned and you’re about to go back in time with the original musical “Totally 80s Snowball.”
The “Snowball” is a dance at a fictional high school during the 1980s, obviously, and as most of us remember (or may even want to forget) dances are never without their drama. All that high school drama will be acted out by the Xavier Players, who will also carry out the story and help to get the audience involved.
And what about all that singing and dancing? Well, leave all that to the Xavier Singers. Their great voices and quality choreographed dance moves are sure to bring back only the happiest of memories for anyone who still remembers the 80s.
The shows are this weekend only, running from Thursday to Sunday and starting at 7:30 p.m. Because of this style of theater, instead of the show being held in the GSC, it will take place in the armory.
I know, no one really likes to walk to the armory. But I’m obviously not the only one who knows that! Shuttles will be taking students up there from Bellarmine Circle starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $5 for students, faculty and staff, so don’t forget your All Card! General admission is $15.
Oh yeah, about that interactive part, the cast will be circulating throughout the audience and snacking on some very tasty hor’dourves, so be ready to get up and dance. You can dress up, too! I know you’ve been dying to do something with those leg warmers that you have just lying around.
You may not even return from the play empty handed! After the show, there will be a quiz session to see how much the audience remembers.
To top it all off, the big guy will be there... The man of the season, Kris Kringle, or as he is otherwise known, Santa Claus. And what does he have in his bag of goodies? I guess you’ll have to come to find out! It’s bound to be a totally tubular time!
