(White Plains, NY) — The Stepinac Drama Club will present Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway sensation, The Phantom Of The Opera. The Phantom Of The Opera opens on Friday, April 27 on the campus of Archbishop Stepinac High School (950 Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains) where the show will run until Sunday, May 6, 2012.

Albert Stanaj, a New Rochelle resident and a student at Stepinac High School, will play the lead role of “The Phantom” in the school’s Drama Club production of Andrew Llloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera.”
The Phantom Of The Opera is the heart-wrenching story of the mysterious “Angel of Music” who lives beneath the Paris Opera House. The hideously disfigured Phantom falls in love with the young singer Christine, devoting himself to creating a new opera star while exercising a reign of terror over the Opera House’s occupants. The Phantom Of The Opera contains Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most famous and romantic score, which includes “Music of the Night” and “All I Ask of You”.
