OSF actors Joe Wegner and Laura Montes will visit SAHS during the second week of December. In addition to the class performances and workshops, they will also put on an evening performance that will be a fundraiser for SAHS Theater Arts!

You’ll have the chance to see the team perform select scenes from Shakespeare as part of their You Say it’s Your Birthday! salute to the bard.

In addition to performing Shakespeare, the teams also offer a literature program. Three teams are taking out American Night High! The Ballad of an Immigrant Student Dreaming in the USA by Richard Montoya as their literature offering. This 35-minute play for student audiences is inspired by American Night: The Ballad of Juan José by Richard Montoya and Culture Clash. The play premiered at OSF in 2010 and was commissioned as part of the American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle, a 10-year program commissioning up to 37 new plays sprung from moments of change in U.S. history.

You’ll have the chance to see both performances as part of this one night only extravaganza. Don’t miss it!

The best part? Admission is any donation of a dollar or more to SAHS Theater Arts! You can’t beat Shakespeare for a buck!
