School News Briefs Performing Arts News A Wrinkle in Time The fall theatrical production “A Wrinkle in Time,” by James Sie and based on the classic novel by Madeleine L’Engle, came to the Performing Arts Center in November and was a tremendous success. Hearty congratulations to Mr. Riker and the technical theatre and theatrical performance students, who all worked hard to pull the production together—from learning lines to painting sets. Through the course of an evening, the audience is transported, along with one of literature’s most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, played by Jane Garrison ’25. Once again, Meg joins forces with Mrs. Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O’Keefe, and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself. “In the end, we know two things for sure,” said Theatre Director Mr. Cody Riker, “First, love CAN overcome evil, and, second, “there IS such a thing as a tesseract.” The cast also included Cordelia Painter ’24, Serenity Williams ’22, Reagan Wagstaff ’25, Haley Pierce ’25, Zion Dugan ’22, Shane Reaves ’25, AJ Hawk ’24, and TJ Ryan ’24. Congratulations, cast and crew!
