Board hears plans for 2025–26 musical; "The Drowsy Chaperone" projected to run President’s Day weekend
Summary
Mr. Bruner announced that the 2025–26 high-school musical will be The Drowsy Chaperone; directors estimate $48,500 in income and about $46,000 in expenses and expect performances over President’s Day weekend in February.
Mr. Bruner, the district's musical director, told the board that he and Julia Kruschetski selected The Drowsy Chaperone as the high-school musical for the 2025–26 school year.
Bruner described The Drowsy Chaperone (original Broadway production dates cited by Bruner as 2005–06) as “a musical within a musical” with a 1920s style and said the show will give students an opportunity to build comedic and classical vocal skills. He said directors chose the show to continue work begun last year with a comedy production.
Budget projection and schedule
Bruner said the district shared a budget with the board that projects approximately $48,500 in income and roughly $46,000 in expenses for a small projected profit. He told the board the show is scheduled to run in February over President’s Day weekend.
Next steps
Bruner asked the board to consider approving the musical at the district's next legislative meeting. Board members offered brief encouragement and thanked the staff and students for their work; no formal approval was recorded at the committee meeting.
