The 19th Annual High School Summer Musical Theatre Experience presents Anything Goes!

The Florida State College at Jacksonville High School Summer Musical Theatre Experience is celebrating its 19^th year providing theatre opportunities to 7^th-12^th graders in the First Coast area. This summer, more than 70 student performers and technicians will train with professional theatre artists in preparation for our production of Anything Goes!

Music, dance, laughs, and the age-old tale of Boy Meets Girl... Anything Goes is Delightful, Delicious and De-Lovely!

When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love... proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic features Cole Porter’s joyful score, including I Get A Kick Out of You, You’re the Top and the show stopping Anything Goes. Anything Goes will take you back to the Golden Age of high society on the seas from the comfort of your cinema seat.
