The Saline High School Drama Club presents Mama Mia in the Ellen A. Ewing Performing Arts Center at the high school Feb. 28 and March 1-2. For ticket information please go to https://tinyurl.com/shsmammamia. Tickets are $10 for students & seniors and $15 for adults online or at the door. Tickets purchases are credit card only. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday.
The music and lyrics to Mama Mia are by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, two original band members of ABBA. Catherine Johnson wrote the book.
Reece Welliver plays the lead role of Donna. Donna is the mother to Sophia, played by Sarah Corrigan. Sarah is planning to marry Sky (Evan Schlitt). Sophia has had no contact with her biological father but wants her father to walk her down the aisle at her wedding. Reading her mother’s diary, she learns there are three potential men who could be her father.
Without her mother's knowledge, Sophia invites them all to her wedding. And that is when the fun begins.
Donna’s three best friends are played by Abigal Lipsitz (Tanya), Lana Wagner (Rosie) and Ava Mitton (Lisa). The three potential fathers are played by Cooper Bush (Sam), Holly Peavler (Harry) and Drew Harrigan (Bill).
Evan Schlitt portrays Sky, Sophia’s husband-to-be. The featured backup singers are Bella Avila, Anika Lindstrom and Kayla Sinclair.
Other featured roles include Otto Spitler as Eddie, Henry Strozeski as Father Alexandrios, Nava Meshinchi as Ali and Ben Holtz as Pepper.
There are an additional twenty-nine students in the ensemble.
Mama Mia is a delightful production that features the music of ABBA, including S.O.S., Super Trouper, Thank You For The Music, Money, Money and Take A Chance On Me.
There is a huge dance number to the song Dancing Queen. And the dramatic moment of the show features Donna singing The Winner Takes It All.
Mama Mia features a lot of fun. A lot of very familiar music. And it is guaranteed to send all who see it out the door with a smile on their face and a tune in their heart.
Cloudy , with a high of 82 and low of 61 degrees. Overcast for the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, partly cloudy in the evening, clear overnight.
No questions about the lack of inspections is alarming
Not to worry. I’m sure Ali will share her extensive knowledge of this subject (or any other subject for that matter) and will remind us that the city can do no wrong and that this situation is not due to negligence of any kind by the city!
Sorry you feel only those looking to condemn others and view situations in the most negative light possible even absent facts should be heard from.
And yet we need a lazy river, gathering places and other unnecessary things??? The city can’t supply us with clean water and now maybe no water at all. How does this even make any sense? City Government continues to fail Saline taxpayers! Maybe we need to hire more consultants and spend even more money 🤪.
Not a great situation and not mad at the City. City administrators have done their job. Well 7 was introduced and under construction to meet the needs of the City.
You obviously think the city bears no responsibility ever for anything! That’s ok. You can continue to point fingers, deny accountability and make excuses but what I know is that when I pay my water bill it’s made out to “The City of Saline” so as far as I’m concerned the buck ultimately stops there!
So has the rec center been included in reducing water usage? How about the 4 car wash businesses?
I would like to hear more about that point. Seems very valid . I assume they are clear to use as much as they wish while we are told to use less.
The rec center sent out emails asking members to take either brief showers or wait until they get home.
