They say the neon lights shine bright on Broadway, but on Feb. 3 and 4 the CAC stage will be in the spotlight right here in Temple.

The Temple High School choir department will present its two show choirs — The Polyfoniks and Encore — in the production of Broadway Nights, a show that features musical numbers from plays and movies such as Waitress, The Greatest Showman, A Chorus Line, Oklahoma and Little Shop of Horrors, to name a few.

“This is our big show for the year,” said Cameron Roucloux, who has been the head of THS choir programs for eight years. “The choirs provided the bulk of the chorus for Hairspray this fall and we will be participating in Sound Check in May, but we decided to do Broadway Nights at this time of year so we aren’t competing with other THS events. It’s something new, and we are excited.”
