Footlights is a great opportunity for Freshmen & Sophomores to get involved in theater at SWHS. Now in it's 4th year, the Footlights production is the only one that accepts all who audition and creates a unique ensemble based approach to creating musical theater. They will work with guest director Dudley Voigt, Musical Director Eric Sayre and Vocal Director Nathan Knoll as well as Southwest Technical staff and upperclassmen leaders for a whirlwind 6 week rehearsal process.
Assassins
Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.
This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheimand John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and in an intense final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
