2018/2019 SEASON

The Highlander Theatre Company's inaugural season features four productions that celebrate the creativity, spirit, and diversity of the Somerville High School community. 

​

This year's season examines the ways we come together to overcome struggle, honor our histories, and break barriers while measuring our lives in love. 

​

In Jonathan Larson's award-winning rock-musical Rent, a group of friends learn to live for every moment during the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 90s. In Quiara Alegria Hudes's Holy Broth, Puerto-Rican teenager Ashley creates a new language with her Abuela with the help of an old family soup recipe. Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky follows the true story of early 20th-century astronomy pioneer Henrietta Leavitt, who forever changed the way we measure the heavens despite the restrictions placed on her for being a woman. The season caps off with the Highlander Fringe Festival, a celebration of new work by Somerville High School students.
