Fort Scott High School presents the new musical Between the Lines in the FSHS Auditorium on Tuesday, November 11th; Thursday, November 13th and Saturday, November 15th. Showtime is seven p.m. with an additional two p.m. matinee on the 15th. Between the Lines is based on the novel by international bestselling author Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer, featuring a book by Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach, The Big One-Oh!) and score by Elyssa Samsel & Kate Anderson (Apple TV+’s “Central Park”).

Between the Lines is an empowering and enchanting story for anyone who has struggled to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book where she feels heard and understood by the handsome Prince Oliver. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in extraordinary ways, Delilah realizes it's worth it to fight for her real world dreams. The production features Senior Junie Fisher as Delilah and Senior Levi Fairchild as Prince Oliver. Nearly forty FSHS students perform in the cast or serve as designers or crew members for the musical. Director is Angie Bin, Abby Starkey is the assistant director, Taylor Jones is the music director and the choreographer is Mesa Jones.

Tickets are reserved seating in advance and available at fortscotthighschool.ludus.com. Seating is limited, but some tickets may be available at the door. Adult tickets are $8 and $6 for children.

A $14 VIP Ticket experience includes the opportunity to meet the cast and take an exclusive photo, a Between the Lines gift bag, concession snack and concession drink.
