Reading Memorial High School Drama Club Presents “Mamma Mia!”

The Reading Memorial High School (RMHS) Drama Club announced that its fall production will be the popular musical Mamma Mia!, written by British playwright Catherine Johnson and based on the songs of ABBA.

Mamma Mia! centers on single mother Donna and her daughter Sophie, who run a small taverna on a Greek island. Just days before her wedding, Sophie finds her mother’s old diary which offers clues about the identity of Sophie’s biological father. Sophie invites all three candidates to her wedding, unbeknownst to her mother.

The timeless songs in Mamma Mia! will be familiar to everyone – classics such as “Honey, Honey,” “Dancing Queen” and of course “Mamma Mia!”

Friday and Saturday night performances are Nov. 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 7.30pm, and the Sunday matinees are Nov 11 and 18 at 3pm. More than 100 RMHS students are in the cast and crew.

“Mamma Mia! has something for everyone – great music, an intriguing storyline and beautiful scenery,” said Natalie Cuhna, director of the RMHS Drama program. “Our students bring so much energy, excitement and talent to the stage – it will be an absolute blast to perform. It’s the visual vacation we know you need, and we hope you won’t miss it!”

Tickets are now available at the RMHS Box Office and via Ticketstage.com.
