Herbert Hoover High School’s High Impact show choir will introduce its 2018 competition repetoire in a mysterious and spooky, but altogether fun and appetizing manner.
High Impact will present “Party with the Addams,” a dinner theater paying tribute, in song and dance, to the Addams Family of television and motion picture lore.
“Party with the Addams” will be presented on Saturday, Jan. 20, and Sunday, Jan. 21, at Elkview Middle School, 5090 Elk River Road, Elkview.
The Saturday dinner will be served from 5 until 6:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday’s dinner will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m., and the stage show will start at 2 p.m.
The cost of each dinner and show is $10 per patron, or $5 to view the show only. Tickets are available from any High Impact show choir member or by calling 304-541-8865.
Proceeds from the dinner theater shows will go to support the HHHS High Impact’s competition season this year.
As additional fundraisers for the group, there will be raffles for gift baskets containing items by manufacturers such as LuLaRoe and Thirty-One.
“Their dinner theater is their annual fundraiser and showcase of the new competition,” said former HHHS High Impact Trace Mahan. “This dinner theater is an opportunity for the public and family and friends to get the first preview of the competition set.
“This fundraiser also helps the show choir compete out of state and pays for necessary items such as music, costumes, travel, etc. It’s the start of the new season, so [there’s] a whole new set and all-new expenses,” Mahan said.
