“Here and Now” is almost over: Theater Club for Grades 5 & 6

The story revolves around a treacherous murder, and the victim is none other than “Taylor Swift,” poisoned by a hired killer commissioned by her own assistant. The star collapses dead on stage. And the chief physicians who rush to her side talk and do a lot, yet are able to do very little. It takes the courage of two young detectives—complete with a cell phone—and the experience of a Sherlock Holmes and his—in this case—two Watsons to uncover the culprits, who, in the hotel and spa setting, already believe they’ve achieved their goals. And magical creatures are needed, too—as well as journeys to distant times when wild members of the same species were still being eaten.

A wonderful little play was performed twice on Thursday, May 22, by 15 young actresses who gave spirited performances. Hats off to them!
