EXETER — This week, on May 4, 5 and 6, something
amazing will be happening!
I am talking about this year's school show at South
Huron DHS! It's called "Return to Eden 2048," and was
written and directed by Ms. Burrell, the head of drama
at South Huron. The cast is made up entirely of stu-
dents, ranging from Grade 9 to 12, with
many students having previous experi-
ence in school shows and drama class.
"Return to Eden 2048" includes a live
band as well, playing such spectacular
songs as "Flashdance" and "Jump, Jive
and Wail." As an added bonus to the
live band playing, the students in the
show actually dance to the songs! That's
right, students dance. For me, being a
part of the show, dancing is a major
step for me, seeing as I have no talent
for that whatsoever.
The show is set in the future, in Exeter
in the years 2047 and 2048. In between
these two years, something entirely strange goes on in
Exeter, and suddenly everyone...oh, that was anticli-
mactic. Something very odd does happen in Exeter, but
to find out, come see "Return to Eden 2048."
Tickets are $6 and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. May 4,
5 and 6.
Now let's see what the rest of the school will be
doing...
