PLANT CITY - The Durant High School drama department will present "Funny Girl" at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the school auditorium, 4748 Cougar Path.

The cast includes Lindsey Mutert as Fanny Brice, Mackenzie Jenkins as Eddie Ryan, Amanda Zappia as Rose Brice, Steven Penarand as Florenz Ziegfeld and Jake Simmons as Nick Arnstein.

The director, Ed Mason, also the director of the drama department, said "Funny Girl" was the first musical he directed 30 years ago and has great music - songs like "People" and "Don't Rain on My Parade."

The show's musical director, junior Chris Tousignant, said, "I did not know any of these songs. I was a little apprehensive. After going over them with the cast, I now love the show."

Tickets are $9. To get them, ask a cast member, call Mason at (813) 757-9075, Ext. 280, or visit www.theatredurant.com and click on "reserve tickets."
