1212 Play: Eurydice
A cast of eight actors, ranging from Class III to Class I, took the stage in Wigg Hall for this fall’s 1212 Play, Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl. The play reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story. View photos.
Class IV Play: Nicholas Nickleby
Charles Dickens’s story Nicholas Nickleby unfolded on the stage of King Theatre as more than 20 Class IV students brought to life the nineteenth-century adventures of a young boy traveling to London to seek his fortune. Performing arts faculty member Eleza Moyer, the play’s director, says although the story addressed serious issues, the light-hearted moments were many. Milton’s version of the story was slimmed-down from the original eight-hour adaptation. View photos.
