A Story from the West End, by 10th-grade pupils at Víðistaðaskóli

The annual Year 10 musical at Víðistaðaskóli in Hafnarfjörður has become a firm tradition, and the pupils, along with parents, teachers and the youth club Hraunið, have been working hard on the preparations. Now it's time for the harvest festival!

  • Friday, 14th February at 20:00 ✨
  • Saturday, 15th February at 14:00 and 18:00 ✨
  • Sunday, 16th February at 14:00 and 18:00 ✨⭐️

This year, the big musical was chosen. West Side Story or A story from the West End by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein.

The work is brimming with emotions that burst forth into love, sorrow, dance and song.

This is the story of teenagers in the past, present and future, in a reality we often dare not face.

The theatre group does not deviate from the original story and therefore the performance contains violence and sorrow but first and foremost Love and joy.

We are extremely excited to take you with us on this magnificent journey.

Tickets here.

PREMIERING ON VALENTINE'S DAY, 14 FEBRUARY

The set, costumes, make-up, lighting and sound are all in the hands of the children and their parents.

The project is an annual collaboration between the school, the youth club Hraunsins, and parents, and all Year 10 pupils are involved in the project in some way. The ambition put into this project is enormous, and it is wonderful to watch the sports hall at Víðistaðaskóli transform into a magical theatre.
