Upper School Musical Theater students took audiences on a magical journey to the highlands of Scotland. Their performance of Brigadoon on November 19-21 opened up a whole new world to audience and cast members alike.

Brigadoon, a Scottish fantasy about a town that disappears into the Highland mist and returns for only one day every one hundred years, is a tribute to simplicity, true love, and goodness, which is hidden from the ordinary traveler.

Two weary hunters lose their way in the highlands of Scotland. It is this desolate situation which Tommy Albright, played by John Godbey, and Jeff Douglas, played by Christopher Smaby, two young New Yorkers, are contemplating when the curtain rises on a misty glen in Scotland. As the two exhausted men reflect on what they have forsaken in the States for their present predicament, a lift in the Highland veil reveals to them the awakening village of Brigadoon.

The strange greetings of the villagers dressed in 18th century costumes, who have gathered in the market square to sell their wares and to discuss the final wedding preparations of Jeannie MacLaren, played by Katherine Crocker, and Charlie Dalrymple, played by Stephen Thompson, are softened for Tommy by his encounter with Jeannie's lovely sister, Fiona, played by Arden Stringer, and enlivened for Jeff by his reluctant entanglement with the maiden, Meg Brockie, played by Cally Pope. 

The blissful occasion and the fate of Brigadoon is threatened by Harry Beaton (Cameron Gavinski), Jeannie's rejected suitor. Tommy, is confronted with the choice of remaining forever at Fiona's side or returning to an unsatisfying life in New York. At the close of the day he is unable to commit to Fiona and to Brigadoon, and leaves with Jeff for America. 

Restless and unhappy in New York, Tommy finally yields to the haunting memory of Fiona and, guided by the faith and strength of his love, finds his way back to Brigadoon.
