We are excited to announce

Our 2025-2026 student production

The Nifty Fifties is a lively, nostalgia-steeped musical revue that celebrates the fashions, fads, music, and everyday life of 1950s America. Set in a small-town soda shop and community hall, the show follows a handful of characters (portrayed by our students) as they navigate high-school dances, drive-in movies, jukebox romances, and the clash between conservative expectations and the budding spirit of youth culture. Through a mix of upbeat rock ’n’ roll numbers, doo-wop harmonies, ballads, and comedic sketches, the production paints a panoramic portrait of the decade—showing the joy of sock hops and leather jackets, the pressures of conformity and courtship, and the subtle stirrings of social change. Energetic choreography, period costumes, and a period-appropriate score immerse audiences in 1950s pop culture while also offering modern emotional resonance. The Nifty Fifties is both a celebratory trip down memory lane and a thoughtful look at how a pivotal decade shaped youth culture and American life.
