D-E Performing Arts is excited to present the annual D-E Fall Play, “A Monster Calls,” with performances in Schenck Auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 4:00 PM; Friday, Nov. 14, at 7:00 PM; and Saturday, Nov. 15, at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM! This is a heart-wrenching story about coming to terms with grief with stark visual elements. The set design, created by Technical Director of Theater Ms. Caitie V. Miller and her stage crew, “does not rely on literal set pieces to communicate the story,” explains Theatre Director Mr. Jeff Hogan, adding “The aim is to keep the focus entirely on [protagonist] Conor’s plight and wide array of emotions.” Click the link in our bio to get your tickets to this is a powerful, high-energy ensemble show featuring a cast and crew of students in Grades 8-12! (Please note: due to mature themes, “A Monster Calls” is recommended for ages 12+.)
