CHS Alumni Unite For Upcoming “Mamma Mia!” Performances

This summer, alumni from Chesapeake High School will present “Mamma Mia!” The production is the first of its kind, with alumni from 1984 through 2024 joining forces to entertain local audiences from June 29-30.

Alumni have put together the entire production, from cast and crew to all production staff. “The CHS theater department had such an impact on the alumni,” said the show's director, Kristen Bishoff Lijewski. “It is a joy to see everyone from different decades learning from each other, especially during such different phases of life, and to bond over their shared experiences.”

“Mamma Mia!” is the perfect show for summer, setting the tone with beachy scenery on a mythical Greek island. Donna is making preparations at her hotel for her daughter’s wedding day. Meanwhile, Sophie, the bride, is on a mission to find her real father and invites three potential candidates to the island the day before her wedding. The performance is a perfect reunion piece, as both the characters and actors reunite over fun and upbeat ‘70s pop music.

The show will run on June 29 at 7:00pm and June 30 at 2:00pm in the auditorium at Chesapeake High School in Pasadena. Tickets are available at www.showtix4u.com/event-details/84600. For more information, contact Kristen Bishoff Lijewski at kbishoff@aacps.org.
