The East Brunswick High School (EBHS) Drama Club will stage its production of “West Side Story” 7 p.m. March 15 and 16 in the Joseph J. Sweeney Auditorium at the high school, 380 Cranbury Road.
The play, which features music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents, transfers Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” to a more modern-day New York City as it explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Funding for the project was made possible, in part, through a grant from the East Brunswick Education Foundation in partnership with the EBHS class of 1992. Tickets cost $12 for adults, $6 for students and senior citizens.
