Jefferson High School Theatre Troupe Presents “Murder at the Art Show”

Jefferson High School Theatre Troupe proudly presents their fall play “Murder at the Art Show.” Performances are 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19 and Saturday, Nov. 20, and 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21 in the Jefferson High School auditorium. General admission tickets are $10. Tickets for seniors, students with an ID and children are $5.
 
For many of the 41 students involved in the play – both actors and technicians – this is their first time being part of a play, and they have enjoyed the process. The students who have been involved in plays before are excited to get back on stage and perform in front of a live audience.
 
Actors attend rehearsals four days a week. They learn movements, memorize lines, research characters and learn how to show emotion. Technicians attend work calls at least once a week. They built a set, designed makeup, set up sound and lights, created props, and designed costumes.

Hope to see you there!
