Synopsis of the show:

The night-time soaps should look so good! Plain Peggy Drab, whose nose is a rival to Pinocchio's, is desperately in love with handsome Rake Carbuncle, but his social dragon of a mother has arranged his marriage to Clover, the snooty heiress. Weary of rejection, Little Peggy sells matches in the street until she has enough money — $1,750,000.00 — to pay world-famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Armour Balducci. Peggy turns into glamorous Destiny Mink in a scene that will have audience howling at the absolute improbability of it all! Balducci marries her and promptly (and conveniently) drops dead. Destiny claws her way to the top of corporate America, wreaking havoc on those who scorned her when she was little Peggy Drab. Madcap complications abound! This inspired spoof is designed so that a few actors can play several zany roles, from a snarling servant to a love-crazed gypsy violinist. Ultimately, of course, Destiny finds her true self, and discovers that Rake has always loved her.

If being on stage isn't for you but you still want to be involved, you have the opportunity to work on one of the production crews. All students cast in a show will be expected to rehearse everyday after school for several hours from the time of casting through opening night. These dedicated students are rewarded when their talents are showcased to their family, friends and peers.

The Galesburg-Augusta Theatre program has brought excitement to the Galesburg and Augusta communities by showcasing the talents of our students. With our close proximity to the famous Barn Theatre our students have been able to stretch their skills in a professional manner.
