"Arcadia" Drama Performace

 Senior drama students are fine-tuning their lines and stage direction after months of rehearsal for their upcoming production of "Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard. The play has two story lines running through it, one in the early 1900s and one in the present day. The set is an English country house as we follow two modern scholars as well as the lives of those who lived there 180 years earlier, including a teenager and her tutor. There is plenty of scandal, mystery and enlightenment amidst evaluations of mathematics, science, and history. A major, yet unseen, character in the play is Lord Byron and the investigation of a period of his life that has always been a puzzle. Themes throughout deal with the relationship between past and present, order and disorder, and the certainty of knowledge.

The show will be presented January 29 - 31 at 7:30pm in the Assembly Hall. Tickets are $5 at the door.
