Here are some rehearsal shots of one of our two spring plays, “One Stoplight Town”, a play about a small town, not unlike Fairview, that sees new developments and puts a stoplight in the middle of town. Some think the traffic light is unnecessary as “nothing new happens in this town”, but we soon see lots of things happen if we have the eye to look for them. Come support our students in the FHS auditorium at 7:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Tickets are $3.
