Since the day Matt Zembrowski stepped on the scene as Theater Director at St. Thomas More High School, it has been a family affair. It is Matt’s second year as Director and the program is growing by leaps and bounds since his arrival. Many improvements have been made to the Auditorium and the surrounding areas, including new seats, paint and sound upgrades. This year’s spring musical, “Footloose” has a cast of 34 on stage while last year’s musical had 19. Zembrowski brings with him a whole cast of his own characters as well. His father Bill is in charge of scene design, while his mother Liz is House Manager. Matt’s brother Zach is in charge of lighting and his sister Rachel is Assistant Director. But the family connections don’t end there; Footloose boosts two sets of siblings on stage as main characters. Playing the lead role of Ariel is senior Kaitlyn Serketich, while her sister, freshman Carly Serketich, plays Vi, Ariel’s mother. In the role of Wendy Jo is senior Garbriella Hamilton, and her sister Freshman Francesca Hamilton is her side-kick Urleen.
This musical featuring the chart-topping classics “Footloose”, “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” and “Holding Out For a Hero”, is sure to get you on your feet! Footloose is being performed for the second weekend at St. Thomas More High School Auditorium, 2601 E. Morgan Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53207 – March 14 & 15 at 7:30 pm and March 16 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are General Admission. They can be purchased at the door, $10 Adults and $5 Students/Seniors. For more information visit our website at www.tmore.org.
