Come have fun and support The Young Company at the same time!
OMIGOD YOU GUYS, we're doing it again!
 
After last season's successful 24-Hour Legally Blonde, The Young Company will embark on another epic (and speedy)  journey to stage a musical in just 24 hours! 

This year, The Young Company will embark on staging the cult classic: Xanadu! Based on the movie of the same title, Xanadu will roller skate directly into your heart with magic, Greek muses, forbidden romances, and endless legwarmers. The fun never stops in this hilarious story filled with an electrifying score of chart-topping hits including “Evil Woman,” “I’m Alive,” and “All Over the World.”

The clock will start counting down at 3pm on Friday, September 20th. Students and staff will work as a collaborative creative team to stage, choreograph, costume, and tech an entire production by 3pm, Saturday, September 21st. 

This fundraising event puts “the show must go on!” to the test. Will they make it in time?  How many people will play ‘that Olivia Newton John part’? Do legwarmers still look good? Only one way to find out! A portion of all proceeds will go to support Fund-A-Need, our scholarship program which supports students throughout the year by removing the financial barriers of participating in Young Company programs.
TICKETS: $15
A portion of the proceeds will support Fund-A-Need, our Young Company financial aid program.
