The Arcola High School Drama Club proudly presents Back to the 80s! It’s a parody of Back to the Future with a ton of other 80s references sprinkled throughout the show. (Hints: The Golden Girls, Ferris Bueller, and Ghostbusters make appearances!)
An amazing group of student actors and crew members have been working incredibly hard to make this show come together, so you don’t want to miss it!
Come out and enjoy a fun and hilarious show—plus awesome musical selections and really big hair!
