"Let the Good Times Roll"
MJH Junior Belles and MJH Cheerleaders Sponsored Dance
TONIGHT Friday, February 13th
Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Pre-sale Tickets $5 (sold during lunch)
Tickets at the Door $7
MJH will be performing "The Diviners" as a One Act Play, written by Jim Leonard Jr. and directed by Heather Ling, on February 14th in the MJH cafeteria. Show times are 2:30 and 4:00 and tickets will be $5/each.
Please come support the junior high theater arts program and watch these amazing young actors perform. The play tells the story of a troubled young boy and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930's. When the boy was young he almost drowned and this trauma and the loss of his mother in the same accident has left him deathly afraid of water. A former preacher, C.C. Showers, befriends the boy and tries to help him overcome his phobia of water so that the boy can heal a skin condition caused by not bathing. Meanwhile the townspeople try to persuade the preacher to start their church anew while the preacher really only cares about helping the boy. Events take a tragic turn when the town mistakes the preacher helping the boy bathe in the river for a baptism.
This play is beautifully written and these young actors do an amazing job of taking us back to the days of the Great Depression and the hardships faced by many.
Again, the date for our performances are February 14th at 2:30 and 4:00. Tickets will be sold at the door.
