Editorial: Students work hard to bring play to life

Next Thursday and Friday students at Whitehall students will take to the stage for the annual spring play at the high school.

The performance of “Dearly Departed” is scheduled for April 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. in the high school multi purpose room. The students have put in numerous hours of work for this play and I really hope there is a great turnout.

Under the direction of Cheri Shaw, the high school performances are always great, and it also gives local residents something different to do.

Along with the daily duty of going to school and homework, many of the students involved are participating in other activities and juggling the time to practice for the play is not an easy thing.

They are working extremely hard to do something positive for the community and they should be rewarded. I’m a firm believer that kids who are involved with a lot of activities set themselves up for future success, and their hard work with this play shows just how committed students in Whitehall are.

The second night of the play the Knights of Columbus are hosting their annual fundraising Fish Fry. The event will take place from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. at St. Teresa’s. This sets the stage for great evening in Whitehall.

Local residents can go to the popular fish fry and follow it up with the play. The money raised by the Knights of Columbus will be put to good use, and the play will be quality entertainment.

It can be a popular thing to say in a small town that there is nothing to do. This isn’t the case in Whitehall. There is always something going on and these two events on the same night are a perfect example.
