KMS Presents High School Musical, Jr.

The play centers around the blossoming relationship between Troy, a high school jock, and Gabriella, the new smart girl at school. They meet on a family vacation and become attracted to each other while singing in a karaoke competition.

Full of catchy songs and exciting dance routines, the musical explores issues of friendship, first love and acceptance.
