FALL PLAY'S OPENING NIGHT THIS THURSDAY
The Thespians have been hard at work preparing for their first production of the year, Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize for Drama-winning play "The Skin of Our Teeth." It originally opened on Broadway in 1942 and was the first stage play to be aired live on television in 1983.
 
The play, a comedy, is centered on George and Maggie Antrobus and their two children, Henry and Gladys.  The play's action takes place in a modern setting, but ignores the traditional notion of linear time by recounting such epochal events as the ice age, the great flood and various historical military conflicts.
 
Cast members include: Priya Iyer, Amanda Holcombe, Mike Hernandez, Brianne Holland, Arthur Siegel, Sean O�Brien, Mark Southlea, Laura Brennan, Aaron Wattenphul, Scott Southlea, Nikki Popp, Erica Ahlstrom, Jess Jeroski, John Lora, Lizzie Grand, Chelsea Barnes, Lea Roselli and Danielle Duncan.

Editor's note: I will run fundraising announcements in the E-News about once a week. If you are associated with a school related organization and would like to advertise it in the E-News please send me an article to FRHSnews@windstream.net. I have found the simpler the format the better. Often when I copy more complicated items the original formatting (fonts, spacing, colors, etc) doesn't transfer well and I end up having to retype the article. Please be sure to include a contact person and an end date, so I know how long to run the article.
