Smokey Joe's Cafe is a musical revue featuring more than 40 hit songs from the 1950s. The story for the show is interpreted by the audience through the music and dance as there is no script that accompanies the show.

“We wanted to accommodate as many participants as possible. This format provided us with an opportunity to work with 59 cast members in a safe way,” Thomas Hunsberger, musical director, said. “It's also a really fun show that we thought the kids would enjoy working on.”

Due to COVID-19, this year many schools and colleges are using resources such as Broadway on Demand to stream their productions as a safe alternative to a live audience.
