Summit High School and Bend Senior High School unite for their first-ever joint production with Head Over Heels, the irresistible jukebox musical set to the chart-topping hits of The Go-Go’s. Inspired by Philip Sidney’s The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia, the show follows the royal court of Arcadia after a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi warns that the kingdom will lose its “Beat,” the life force that sustains its prosperity. Determined to outwit fate, King Basilius leads the court on a wild journey through the woods where mistaken identities, unexpected romance, and gender-expansive disguises turn tradition on its head. The result is a vibrant celebration of authenticity, acceptance, and love.

Featuring high-energy vocals, a live rock band, and Ancient Greece-meets-the-1980s design, this production invites audiences to groove along to iconic songs including “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” and “Mad About You.”

Head Over Heels is directed by Lara Okamoto, co-directed by Madeline Schreiber, with music direction by Angelina Anello-Dennee and choreography by Emily Tompkins. The live band is directed by Cooper Ottum.
