Gabriella (Emily Sampson) and Troy (Matthew Goemaat) bring Disney’s “High School Musical” to the North Mahaska High School Auditorium this weekend. The production will be performed Friday and Saturday, March 12-13 at 6:30 p.m. (submitted photo)
North Mahaska High School students will take to the stage this weekend a year after the show was first cast. NM will present Disney’s “High School Musical, Junior” under the direction of Tara Carrico and Jenna Hibler.
Released by the Disney company in January 2006, the story is a bit of a Romeo and Juliet story pitting fine arts against basketball. Troy (Matthew Goemaat) and Gabriella (Emily Sampson) meet at a karaoke night during winter break. Both are talented singers but Troy is also the star on the basketball team. Gabriella is a transfer student who has a strong background in math and science.
