Costumes are created by seniors Phillip Fabian and Lilly Sather. Set construction designed by Corey Helser and Theater Support Services will transport the audience to the Greek islands.
The story of Mamma Mia! is about an independent hotelier in the Greek islands, preparing for her daughter's wedding with the help of two old friends. Meanwhile Sophie, the spirited bride, has a plan. She secretly invites three men from her mother's past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day.
