Patriot Productions Present: The Pajama Game

Marc Kaliroff and Bianca Hazel

For the last few months, Patriot Productions of FTHS have been hard at work at recreating the musical The Pajama Game. The Tony Award Winning musical returns; this time reprised by the newcomers and veterans of the Drama club. Longtime senior performers such as Danny Scerbo and Anna Juliano prepare to take their final bow as their last performances are just hours away. Mr. Gattsek returns once again to conduct his orchestra through every beat and string that resonates throughout the auditorium. Starting March 1st you will be able to see the show live yourself, but in the meantime until the curtains open, you can wish your castmates to break a leg and read the following synopsis.

Synopsis:
The romantic drama The Pajama Gang returns! The Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa faces a major debacle as the newest Superintendent Sid Sorokin, played by Danny Scerbo, begins to fall for the spirited and spunky “Babe” Williams, played by Anna Juliano. Despite the fact that Williams wishes to deny any relationship that comes to her, she is simply deceived by Sorokin and begins to fall into his hands. The Sleep-Tite employees begin a rebellion against their low wage, which leads both Sorokin and Williams to be divided on each side of the fight. The two attempt to find a way that can keep their relationship from falling apart while remaining loyal to their cause.
