Step back in time to 1959, where Ruby’s Diner is the heart of the community — full of milkshakes, jukebox tunes, and teenage dreams. But when the beloved diner faces demolition, the local kids rally to save it with music, dance, and a whole lot of heart. Just as they’re hatching a plan, a freak experiment accidentally rips open space and time, bringing unexpected visitors from the future. As if that’s not wild enough, a second mishap summons someone important from the past! Together, this quirky crew mixes 1950s Rock ’n’ Roll with futuristic flair, planning a spectacular dance event to show the town what Ruby’s Diner really means. With big performances, unexpected friendships, and plenty of laughs, the musical climaxes in a show-stopping dance number.
The Nifty Fifties…and Beyond! is a high-energy, heartwarming kids’ show that celebrates teamwork, nostalgia, and the magic that happens when worlds — and eras — collide. The Acting Track will perform their scenes as ACT 1. The Musical Theater Track will perform their musical as ACT 2.

In this delightful one-act play, aliens invade a small town with the intent to use earth as a grazing ground for their lobster-like food source, the Gargon. But one alien, Derek, finds that the people of earth are intelligent and runs off to warn them. Derek falls for ditzy earth girl Betty, then they meet up with Joe Mama, the town reporter. But alien Thor is sent to capture them with his ray gun. They lead him in a madcap chase all over town. Townsfolk are dropping dead as Grandpa, science professors, policemen, and more join in the fray. It all comes to blows when the aliens return with their Gargons and Derek saves the earthlings.

Jack doesn’t feel like he fits in with the rest of the kids … he styles his hair in a quiff, listens to Buddy Holly, and likes wearing vintage clothes. When his friends start giving him a hard time, he longs to go back to the period in history that he finds most appealing: THE FIFTIES. Whilst putting out the trash one evening, he encounters a mystical iPhone, and as Jack scrolls back through the years, the world spins around him, and before he knows it, he’s gone back in time to 1955 at Pop’s Diner! But there’s no internet in the fifties, the food is different, and it dawns on him that he might never see his friends and family again! To make matters worse, his talismanic iphone has been stolen by Slick Joe from the Greasers, and he sees no way back! Will Jack make it back? And, if he does, how will his time traveling escapades change his view of the present day?
Jack to the Future is a smart, entertaining musical where original script and songs intertwine with memorable 1950’s melodies of the past!
