PLEASE READ!!! 
The Kerr Cultural Center is located at the corner of Scottsdale Rd. and ROSE Lane. You will see a directional sign for Kerr Cultural Center at that corner (look up above the street sign).   Please turn on ROSE Lane, as this is the only way to get to the ASU Kerr Cultural Center. NOTE:  If you use Google directions, it will tell you to park on Scottsdale Rd.
Please follow these instructions instead!
There is some construction going on in the area, so please follow these instructions. ASU Kerr Cultural Center: 6110 N. Scottsdale Rd. It's not hard to find, but it helps to know exactly what to look for - just in case!

BASIS DRAMA PRODUCTIONS
TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
UPPER SCHOOL DRAMA PRESENTS
TWO ONE-ACT PLAYS:
DRACULA DIVERTED & MACBETH
Saturday, November 14th, 6:00-9:15 pm (Doors open 5:45 pm)
Playhouse in the Park
General admission tickets now available  on SMART for Charter:
$7 per person (includes both plays)

The Upper School morning and afternoon Drama electives are thrilled to present an evening of two contrasting one-act plays, Dracula Diverted and Macbeth.  There will be a 15 minute intermission between plays. 

DRACULA DIVERTED
"A classic never dies."
The morning elective arose around 5:30 each school morning to create a dark musical comedy based on Bram Stoker's villainous vampire, Count Dracula.  The class wanted to explore how Count Dracula would view contemporary values.  What would he embrace?  What would he regret?  Most importantly, would we even care about a blood thirsty vampire trying to achieve the American dream?

David Woods as Dracula

Fajr Ahmad
Joanna Carvallo
Joe Zyadeh
Korina Bailey
Luke Armistead
Natalya Stanisic

MACBETH by William Shakespeare
"Something wicked this way comes!"
The afternoon Upper School Drama class continues to be devoted to dark and haunting stories.  They selected Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth for the complex characters, incredible visuals, and supernatural elements.  Macbeth is the intense tale of crooked power in a kingdom dominated by ambition and equality.  Some material may not be suited for children under 13.
