Spring Musical

Tickets for FINDING MADAME CURIE, a new musical making its high school debut here at Kennedy, are now available!

Winner of the Jackie White Memorial National Playwriting Contest 2020, FINDING MADAME CURIE tells the story of the scientist everybody knows and the woman nobody knows—the scientist who discovers radium and wins two Nobel Prizes, and the woman who dares to pursue her dream in a man’s world.

With live music by students from our instrumental music program, and special choreography by our dance program, don’t miss this exciting return of musical theatre to Kennedy High School!

Tickets are $10* general admission, but only $7* if purchased through Sunday, April 12.
*Tickets must be purchased online. There is a $1.00 processing fee for each ticket sold.
