Upper Schoolers Deliver Stellar Production of "Brian the Comet"

Last night the curtain rose on the Upper School Spring Play, "Brian the Comet," a powerful one-act by Emily Hageman about uncertainty, fear, and hope. We can't say enough about the stellar job our cast and crew did in putting on this show. If you haven't already, make plans to see the play tonight or tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Renda Black Box Theater here on campus. We hope to see you there!
