As students count down to summer break, Edgewood Middle School will present its spring musical, "Wipeout," at 7 p.m. Friday and Monday.
According to the show synopsis, it's just another sunny day at Avalon Beach until Mom and Pop announce they're selling their beloved surf shop and teen hangout. The snobbish developers from the nearby Ritzy Cove want Avalon's stretch of sand for a parking lot.
But the developers didn't count on Mom and Pop's daughter, Midge (Amanda Quiroz), and all the loyal Avalon kids who are determined to keep their beach a beach.
Riptide (Jared Lemler), the local kahuna, enters the big surf contest to compete for the grand prize money that will keep The Shack's doors open. However, the cove crowd will do anything to keep Riptide from winning the prize money.
When Riptide breaks his leg in a surfing accident - thanks to the conniving developer's son, Reef (Michael Sanborn) - it's up to Midge to step onto her Billabong and go up against the boys.
Pop, a former surfing champion himself, comes through to help his daughter in a surfing cram session that gets all the kids pumped for the big event.Also cast in "Wipeout" are Drew Schramm as Loco Moco; Ryan Carmichael as Bodhy; Lexi Demopoulos as Freddie Seaturtle; Mary Catherine Mayer as Wendy; Megan Tucker as Sandy; Jillian Burley as Rhonda; Ian Smith as John B; Mason Sumner as Fender Bender; Hanna Harrold as Barbara Ann; Mariah Perry as Caroline; Jamie Taylor as Marcella; Lucas Thomas as Shutterbug; Paige Chalk as Scratch; Kenya Hendrickson as Zelda; Matthew Meck as Mr. Saucelito; Nathan Kolbe as Cap 'n Bill; and Areli Sanchez as Mom.
