Maine East High School celebrating cultural diversity with annual V-Show, World Tour!

Maine East High School is preparing for its next production of V-Show, World Tour!

The variety show (V-Show) is a time-honored tradition that features the amazing talent of the Maine East community through energizing opening and closing numbers and individual acts in between.

The shows will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5; and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6-7, in the Maine East auditorium, 2601 W. Dempster St., Park Ridge. Tickets are $10 and are available online at bit.ly/MEBoxOffice or at the door.

“I love doing pit during V-Show because of the way we bring band and orchestra together,” said bassist Emma Noronha, junior. “We almost never play together and V-Show is a great opportunity to showcase all of our skills. The community is so chill and everyone feels welcome.”

This year, Maine East is celebrating its different cultures. The audience can expect to hear songs in at least five different languages and a variety of other acts including dance, instrumentation, magic and video segments.

“We love V-Show; the sheer size of it and the amount of acts means that we get to work with people we usually don't and everyone plays an important role in putting on the show,” said assistant stage manager Asthinos Emperado, senior. “We especially like how accessible all the jobs on crew are and how they allow people from all experience levels to try out being on leadership.”

This eclectic music and talent show delivers high energy entertainment for the whole family with nonstop movement and engagement making it a perfect evening for a night out.
