Poway High School presents the musical “Anything Goes”  

The award-winning Poway High School Musical Theatre department is busy preparing for their production of Anything Goes, a hilarious comedy with singing, dancing, mistaken identity, and romance!  Poway High School’s musical comedy, Anything Goes, is set in the 1930s aboard the ocean liner S.S. American, where nightclub singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney is en route from New York to England. Her pal Billy Crocker has stowed away on the ship to be near the woman he loves, Hope Harcourt, who, unfortunately is engaged to the wealthy Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.  Two other stowaways, Moonface Martin and his partner-in-crime Erma, befriend Billy and aid him on his quest to win Hope’s heart.
