Returning to the Stage for the Class of ‘13
Laguna Beach High School holds its senior class benefit show, “The Shap Show” on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Math teacher Gary Shapiro and students, who are both seasoned vocalists and new-comers, will perform in “No Suits Allowed” for the community as a fundraising effort. Local restaurant Lumberyard, 384 Forest Ave., will offer pre-show dinner packages.
Long known simply as “The Shap Show” by its many fans, this community favorite has raised a cumulative total of more than $100,000 and involved at least 350 young singers since it was first staged 25 years ago.
This year’s show, February 9, at 7:30 PM, features nearly 30 songs covering contemporary and classic popular hits, each sung by a student with Shapiro accompanying them on guitar.
Regular tickets go on sale at 4 p.m. on the day of the show at the Artists’ Theatre box office. Tickets are $10 for students, $15 for adults and $30 for dinner and show via PayPal at http://www.lbusd.org/shapshow. For more information contact Johnna Gherardini at [email protected].
