The students of the STC Musical Department would like everyone to ‘make good choices’ to see their rendition of Disney’s Freaky Friday. Set to be on stage at the Wieting Theatre on Nov. 3, 4, and 5 at 7:00 p.m.

High School Vocal Music Director Christine McFate has been working tirelessly with the high school cast and crew to prepare this mother-daughter shenanigan saga.

The Mother, Katherine Blake, played by Libby Albright, and her daughter Ellie, played by Itzel Herrera, don’t see eye to eye. But, in this family-friendly theatrical production, these two will walk a mile, or days, in each other’s shoes. Teenage Ellie will have to survive being a crypt keeper while they work together to figure this out. Will they switch their bodies back in time?
