 FHS Producer is Dr. Myrlene Kennedy, Drama Director Kathy Powdrell, Vocal Music Janwin Overstreet-Goode, Choreographer Melissa Jones, Accompanist, Laurie Purcell, and Instrumental Music, Julio Sanchez.
This is the third time this production will be held at FHS. The first performance of Brigadoon was the first FHS musical in 1969 and the second was in 1984.
Brigadoon is an enchanted village that appears for one day every 100 years. If anyone of the village leaves it will vanish forever. A stranger can stay if and only if he loves someone in the town enough to lose everything from the "real" world.
In Brigadoon, Tommy Albright is a romantic Yank who falls in love with the young Fiona MacLauren and has to make the choice of staying with his true love or going back to America to get married to the overpowering Jane Ashton. Jeff Douglas is Tommy's sarcastic friend who is valiantly and hilariously pursued by the man-chasing Meg Brockie. Jean MacLauren and Charlie Dalrymple are a young couple who are to be married on the day the two visitors enter Brigadoon. Harry Beaton is Jean's jilted suitor who threatens to leave Brigadoon and cause it to vanish forever and Mr. Lundie is the local schoolmaster who explains the tale of Brigadoon to the two travelers.
