There will be a balanced emphasis on music, acting, and dance. This program nurtures rehearsal and performance principles, requiring commitment, teamwork, and collaboration within diverse creative processes.

CHARACTERS
Gabriella Montez : the new student who’s struggling to find her place at East High. She’s a Renaissance woman who doesn’t fully identify with any of the cliques, and so she’s taking her time – and realizing her confidence – along the way.
Troy Bolton: the most popular student at East High and the star of the basketball team who yearns to be more than what others – especially his dad, Coach Bolton – want him to be.
Sharpay Evans: the dramatic and self- centered star of the school musicals.
Ryan Evans: Sharpay’s fraternal twin and, like her, he lives to sing, dance, and get loads of attention.
Kelsi Nielsen: the neo-feminist writer- composer of the winter musical, Juliet and Romeo, who possesses a shy demeanor but no tolerance for the egocentric likes of Sharpay.
Chad Danforth: one of Troy’s best friends and s a sports fanatic.
Zeke Baylor: Troy’s other best buddy; a basketball player with a sweet side.
