Cherry

Lifting Diverse Voices

Arts and Athletics Club is excited to produce Cherry, as part of our Lifting Diverse Voices theater production. The goal of our Lifting Diverse Voices program is to share stories that feature a diverse actor base in prominent roles to encourage all people to express themselves in the arts. 

​

Cherry tells the story of a teenage boy, Mikey, who is having difficulty adjusting to his new school. He deals with bullies and enemies. To escape, he heads to the park where he sits by a Cherry Blossom. To Mikey's surprise, this tree is a transport to a mystical world where Mikey has the chance to be the hero. He is called upon to help his new friends in an epic battle, but does he have what it takes to lead them to victory? And with time limited in this new world, is he making the most of it? Come find out in the World Premiere of Cherry, a Modern Day Fairy Tale. 

 

As part of our Lifting Diverse Voices Program, our goal is to cast Asian community members in our major roles in this production. This includes but is not limited to: Mikey, Queen Cherry, Sly, and Mother. At Arts and Athletics Club we encourage all community members to get involved so there are parts for everyone who wants to get involved.

​

Rehearsals will begin in June.
