Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Presents:

Les Miserables: School Edition

At the CCA Proscenium Theater

March 21- 29, 2014  

SAN DIEGO (January 10, 2014) – Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) Envision Theatre is thrilled to present "Les Miserables School Edition", Directed by CCA Envision Theatre Coordinator Amy Blatt. Performed entirely by CCA students from March 21-29th at the CCA Proscenium Theatre.

THE STORY
This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes and honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.
