The Broadway musical “Les Misérables” will be presented by a cast of young adults from across the region. 

Victor Hugo’s story is set in early 19th century France, and follows the intertwining lives of characters struggling for redemption and revolution. “Les Misérables (School Edition),” a musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schoenberg, will be a joint production of Fox Valley Theatre Company and Children’s Theater of Elgin. It will be performed by students ages 10 to 19 in Elgin Community College’s Visual and Performing Arts Center, 1700 Spartan Drive.

Area faces in lead roles include Kirsten Schulenburg of Wheaton, and Val Zawada, Matt Kuyawa and Corbin McGhee, all of Geneva. The show is directed by Terry Domschke, the noted director who recently retired as head of the theater department at Elgin Community College.

Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 5, 6, 12 and 13, and at 3 p.m. Sundays, Sept. 7 and 14. Tickets can be purchased online at www.elgin.edu/community.aspx?id=2220, by calling the ECC Box Office at (847) 622-0300 or in person.
