Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University's School of Theatre and Dance continues its 2021-2022 season with the production of Disney’s Freaky Friday, running Feb. 25, through March 6, in E. Turner Stump Theatre.
With a book by Bridget Carpenter, music by Tom Kitt, and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, the musical is based on the novel Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers and the Disney films. Directed by Eric van Baars, choreographed by assistant professor Jennifer Black, and music directed by associate professor Jonathan Swoboda, Freaky Friday explores what happens when an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies and have just one day to put things right again. A heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional tale – can a mother and daughter come to appreciate, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond them together?
The Freaky Friday production team includes costume design by Michelle Souza, lighting design by Wes Sneed, scenic design by Brian Seckfort, sound design by Ian Macdonald, props supervision by Travis Williams, and technical direction by associate professor Steve Pauna. Lexi Snoddy is the production stage manager. Learn more.
