Vashon Youth Theatre will bring a musical adaptation of “Carrie” to the stage the first weekend of August.

“Carrie, The Musical” opens at 7 p.m. Friday, July 31, with additional performances at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, all at Vashon High School.

“Carrie: The Musical” is an adaptation of Stephen King’s well-known horror novel about a girl who is bullied at school and abused by her mentally ill mother at home. But Carrie soon discovers she has a special power.

The Vashon show will be directed by Elizabeth Ripley and will have a cast of more than 40 young performers involved with Vashon Youth Theatre, a new group on Vashon.

Tickets cost $5 for youth and seniors and $10 for general admission. They can be purchased in advance at Vashon Bookshop. Regular admission is $15 at the door on the day of the show.

The show is not recommended for young children due to occasional coarse language and intense subject matter, including child abuse and bullying, and elements of horror.
