Future Shock takes part in the annual Broadway in Franklin Weekend (November 11-13) including master classes with two Broadway stars and the opportunity to share the stage with them November 13! Future Shock will perform in the EY shows on April 29 and June 17, and in EY’s annual Concert on the Common in Franklin in July.

Rehearsals are scheduled at various times in the after-school hours and we work around FSPA class conflicts. Additional rehearsal time will be scheduled prior to the EY shows in which Future Shock will appear.

A tax deductible donation of $595 is made to Franklin Performing Arts Company in support of ELECTRIC YOUTH. At least two tickets to the Broadway in Franklin Showcase and at least two tickets to each of the Electric Youth shows are required.

What is the costuming for Future Shock?
Future Shock also wears EY’s traditional black and white and each ensemble member is dressed as an EY “mini-me.” Families shop on their own following specific guidelines and bring in options at a costume check scheduled prior to the first EY performance. Simple “out of closet” costuming will be assigned for Broadway in Franklin Weekend.
