The theater department decided to postpone the children’s play.
With the recent increase in cases, Mickey Jordan, instructor of technical theater, said it is in the interest of the safety of the students to postpone “Gretchen and the Grudge.”
“At this time, none of our cast members have symptoms and we do not want to risk accidentally exposing anyone or their families this close to the break,” Jordan said. “So, we have decided for the saftey of our actors to postpone.”
The exact day is still to be determined, but the group plans to perform the play sometime in January or February.
The play will be a short one – only 20 minutes – and will be presented as a formal table reading of the script and will be recorded. Participants will focus on voice acting and inflection. Students, ranging from first through fifth grade, will watch the play at their respective schools.
