West Side Story sets Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in 1950s New York City as the two star-crossed young lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs. From the first notes to the final breath, their struggle to survive in a world of violence and prejudice remains one of the most memorable and powerful musical dramas of our time.
The cast of West Side Story includes 38 of COCA's most talented "Triple Threat" performers who represent 28 different ZIP codes spanning Eureka to Belleville. Tickets are $14 - $18. For ages 6 and up.
Shows are Friday, July 27 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, July 28 at 1 and 5 p.m.
