Karingal High School :1976

 

Breif Synopsis

Taking place over fifty years, 'Show Boat' tells the story of a showboat acting family and their struggles with gambling, race, infidelity, and poverty. In the beginning of the show, Captain Andy runs an extremely successful show on his ship 'The Cotton Blossom.' Unfortunately, after it is discovered that his leading lady, Julie, is part black, she and her leading man boyfriend are forced to quit the show. As a replacement, Captain Andy uses his daughter, Magnolia, and a young gambler, Gaylord Ravenal. Magnolia and Gaylord soon fall in love but they must struggle with poverty and Gaylord's infidelity.
