The High School Repertory Company of The Children’s Theatre of Western Springs presents the play Smile on July 29, 30, & 31 at the Theatre of Western Springs, 4384 Hampton Ave. Smile  is recommended for audiences ages 12 and older.

This touching and satiric musical by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Ashman--the creators of Little Shop of Horrors, A Chorus Line and They’re Playing Our Song--follows the intrigue and exploits onstage and behind-the-scenes as Santa Rosa, California plays host to the Young American Miss Pageant. Rehearsed in only three weeks’ time, Smile is a true summer stock production which is all the more impressive considering the performers are all 18 years old or younger.
