The magic of Aida is coming to Port Jervis stage, March 19-21
 

The Tony award-winning rock musical, Aida, is coming to Port Jervis High School March 19-21 for three performances.  

Set along the banks of the Nile in ancient Egypt, Aida is the tragic love story of a captive slave princess and an Egyptian prince whose love transcends time and cultural barriers. The beautiful musical score, created by Elton John and Tim Rice, uses music ranging from reggae and gospel to zealous rock ballads to express the characters' emotions and celebrate their diversity.   

Evening performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 19 and Saturday, March 20. An afternoon matinee is scheduled for Sunday, March 21 at 2 p.m.

The general admission price is $12. The cost for specially-priced student and senior citizen tickets is $10. Tickets can be reserved by calling the Port Jervis High School Ticket Line at 845-858-3122. Tickets will also be sold at the door.      

The Port Jervis performance of Aida is directed by High School music teacher Alvera Sylvester.
