POTSDAM – The Potsdam High School Drama Club will perform the Elton John/Tim Rice musical “Aida” at the Potsdam High School Auditorium Friday and Saturday, March 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m.

The performance is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

The production involves over 50 students in the cast, orchestra and production crew. These students put in hundreds of hours to provide the community with a memorable performance.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for senior citizens and students and are available at Northern Music & Video, the Potsdam High School Office, AAK Middle School Office, and from cast members.
