Jefferson High School presents "Singin' in the Rain"

• Singin' in the Rain

Nick Hansberry, Henry Coleman and Jordan Weaver (left to right) rehearsed a scene from the upcoming JHS production of Singin' in the Rain.

Talk about it

Jefferson High School’s 2010 spring musical is Singin’ in the Rain.

Performances are at the Discovery Middle School auditorium in Alexandria on Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 25 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Jefferson High School office.

The play is about a silent film star with humble roots as a musician, dancer and stunt man, who barely tolerates his vapid leading lady, Lina, who is convinced their screen romance is real.

After the first talking picture proves to be a smash hit, the head of the studio decides to convert the new film into a talkie.

The production is beset with difficulties, the worst being Lina's comically grating voice.

The musical is directed by Kelly Hartwell.
