The cast of Lower Dauphin High School's Spring Musical "Crazy for You" will serve a spaghetti dinner in the Lower Dauphin High School cafeteria. At several points throughout the evening, students will perform songs from the musical.
Diners will enjoy all-you-can-eat spaghetti with a choice of meatless or meat sauce, as well as bread, fresh salad, an assortment of hot and cold beverages, and a wide variety of home-baked desserts.
Organized by a dedicated group of parent volunteers, the spaghetti dinner fundraiser has become a tradition for the Lower Dauphin spring musical.
Tickets for the dinner are available from any cast member or at the door, and cost $6 for adults and $4 for children under 10. Proceeds help cover the costs of producing the show, such as costumes, programs, and set construction.
The musical will run from March 1-3 at the high school.The show tells the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930s playboy, whose dream in life is to dance. Come to find out if the serious efforts of his mother and fiancee will get in the way of his dream. It's a high energy comedy which includes mistaken identity, plot twists, fabulous dance numbers and classic Broadway tunes.
