CLARKSTON — The Clarkston High Drama Club will stage its spring play based on the beloved 1952 movie musical “Singin’ In The Rain” beginning at 7 tonight in the CHS auditorium.
The comedy details the difficult and sometimes hilarious time in Hollywood when films were making the transition from silent movies to “talkies.” Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are huge in silent films, and Lina thinks they’re a couple off-screen as well, but Don isn’t interested. In making the transition to talkies, the studio enlists wholesome young acting hopeful Kathy Selden to dub Lina’s grating voice for their new film.
The CHS production stars Cooper Knutson, Rachel Lauzon and Andrew Thompson, and is directed by Larry Goodwin.
Additional shows will be at 7 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Wednesday, next Thursday and April 21.
Admission is $12 regular price and $10 for students and seniors. Clarkston High School is at 401 Chestnut St.
