This season’s fall play is called, The Rimers of Eldritch by Lanford Wilson. The play is about a murder trial and the circumstances of it. The story is largely told in flashbacks and it is a serious production, unlike the many comedies the Thespian Society has performed in the past.
In an interview with Schlyer Jackson Fish (11), she says she’s most excited about the serious topics the play addresses including sexual assault. When asked, “If you could give one reason for everyone to come to the play, what would it be?” She replied, “You should come because it’s unlike anything we have ever done before. It’s an awesome and dramatic play that should be lot of fun to watch.”

The Thespian Society has also recruited around 10 freshman this fall, and they feel they are all very talented and a good addition to the cast.
The Thespian Society is also now an independently funded organization and will be hosting fundraisers to earn money. We strongly encourage everyone to come out and watch the play!
