La Porte High School cast invites community to opening night Thursday

Dr. Jackson, a La Porte ISD staff member, interviewed student cast and crew about La Porte High School’s upcoming musical during an on-camera segment, saying “Opening, opening is tomorrow night” and urging the community to attend.

The segment, presented as a short promotional interview, highlighted a few of the production’s features. One cast member described wearing a “Technicolor dreamcoat” on stage as “amazing” and “magical.” Another said the number “Song of the King” is a favorite and predicted it would be “pretty popular.” The students also teased acrobatics, with one responder saying, “Probably seeing backflips… Be ready for the backflips.”

Dr. Jackson invited the cast to advertise the show to viewers. A student performer said, “Come pop out to the show. This is gonna be awesome. I mean, we… we work so hard for this,” and praised the directors: “They’re amazing.” Another cast member recounted a lighthearted backstage moment: “I remember someone's wig falling off.”

The segment closed with Dr. Jackson repeating the opening-night reminder and asking the cast to encourage attendance: “Opening night Thursday. Come out. Let's see the musical.” The interview framed the production as a recurring school tradition; Dr. Jackson called it “a wonderful tradition in La Porte Independent School District and La Porte High School to have a musical each year.”

No ticket prices, specific showtimes, or the production’s official title were provided on camera. The students and host gave only the day of the week for the opening (Thursday) and described several performance elements that audience members can expect.

The short on-camera exchange functions as a community announcement rather than a formal school-board discussion. There were three on-screen speakers in the clip, and the segment ran roughly three and a half minutes.
