Dear Riverdale Families,
I am so excited to attend Riverdale High School's musical production of Bob Carlton's RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET, William Shakespeare's long-lost 60s rock musical!
Our students have been working diligently to bring us a magical night of acting and singing that promises to be unforgettable in the history of Riverdale productions. I personally will be attending two performances because I find that as the students perform for the audience, their acting just gets better and better.
Our renowned director, Mr. Rick Zimmer, describes the play this way:
“Who would have thought Shakespeare and sixties rock music had anything in common? And then, when you place the story onboard a "Star Trek" type space ship, things become even more fun. It has been a delight to see the cast warm up to the language of Shakespeare, sing the nostalgic music of the sixties all the while poking fun at Star Trek, alien robots, asteroid storms and an evil monster that must be controlled or all is lost on the forbidden planet.”
Return to the Forbidden Planet shows for three days only at the Broadway Rose Theater in Tigard, Oregon.
