MWHS Spring Play-- "The K of D" is a Dark Comedy
|
The MWHS theater department will present its spring play "The K of D" next weekend. The show has a feel of a scary, spooky story being told around the campfire and follows the urban legend of a young girl, Charlotte, who, following her twin brother's death, suddenly finds that everything she kisses ultimately dies. While the 'K of D' was originally written as a one-woman show, the students at MWHS have taken on the challenge of turning it into a show staffed by 15 students, each one taking on a unique character.
Where: MWHS Little Theater
When: Fri & Sat, March 30 & 31, 7:30 PM, Sun, April 1, 2 PM
Tickets: $7 adults; $5 students/seniors at the door
