2012 district baseball tournament bracket
Students from the Atlanta C-3 Schools will be acting in a full length play this month, something that hasn’t been seen at AHS for several years. The play “Prom Night Goes Bad, is about four high school seniors that arrive at a country lodge for their prom. But, things go askew from the start. They show up at the wrong lodge, their car won’t start, the phone goes dead, and disco music plays inexplicably. The lodge is haunted! It all leads to a bizarre prom night no one will forget! The production will be Thursday, May 17th beginning at 7:00 p.m. with a meal served by the Booster Club before the presentation at 6:00 p.m. Cost for the dinner theatre will be $10.00 per ticket with dinner reservations being made by May 11th. Call the school at (660) 239-4211. Tickets for the production only are $5.00 per person.
Pictured above are the cast of the play, (left to right) Michael Wombles, Ameila Smothers, Emily Holbrook, Katlin Spearman, Felicity Yadon and Mick Garnett.
