In this revamped, contemporary version of the famous (and infamous) 1988 production, Carrie: The Musical follows a young woman with telekinetic powers. An outcast at school, where she is bullied viciously for her differences, Carrie is also lost at home, with a fervently religious mother whose love traps her in its maw. When PE teacher Miss Gardner, kind classmate Sue Snell, and boyfriend Tommy Ross reach out to try and help Carrie, it seems that for once, Carrie might have a shot at being accepted. But Chris Hargensen, the class’s most vicious bully, has other ideas. Pushed to the brink, Carrie’s powers threaten to overwhelm her, and devour everyone around her in flame.

KC is the home of a great program called Cappies. Each school has a team of students who are trained in critiquing & writing reviews for member schools in the KC area. The best reviews are chosen by editor mentors & appear in the KC Star & other area newspapers. In June, a formal gala is held and the best performances are awarded. Each summer KC Cappies produces a musical where students from participating schools can work together to put on a fantastic show. This is the 20th year of Kansas City Cappies.
