HUNTINGTON BEACH... The Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts (HB APA) will present six performances of the musical TITANIC on October 15-17, 21, and 23-24 in the Historic Huntington Beach Union High School Auditorium and Bell Tower. Performances Thursday through Saturday will take place at 7:00 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $16 for students and seniors at hbapa.org/see.

In traditional HB APA fashion, TITANIC will unite multiple student departments as they work together to bring this musical to life. HB APA's Musical Theatre, Technical Theatre, Costume Design, and Orchestra departments have been working diligently since the beginning of the school year to bring this harrowing, larger-than-life tale to the stage.

About TITANIC – The sinking of the Titanic in the early hours of April 15, 1912 remains the quintessential disaster of the century. The musical Titanic is set against the melodious score by renown composer Maury Yeston and is based on the true story of the great ship's maiden voyage from departure in Southampton, England, to the sinking in the Atlantic by an iceberg. This moving story follows passengers and crew members who actually existed and were aboard the Titanic, and is an exemplary tribute to their memory.
