Opening up the 2017-2018 Performing Arts Season, the students at Hopewell Valley Central High School will be performing William Inge’s 1953 Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Picnic.
This classic play takes place in a small Kansas town in the 1950’s on the day of the annual Labor Day Picnic. All is peaceful amongst residents of Flo Owens’ and Helen Potts’ homes until the arrival of a handsome drifter with a suspicious past. Family bonds are tested and forbidden love blooms in the course of the show.
Performances are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 pm at the high school’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for students and senior citizens and can be purchased ahead of time by visiting showtix4u.com and searching the title of the show, or at the door on the evening of each performance.
