Top Brewer drama students to offer 1-act play

loading...

The public has one more opportunity to see some award-winning Brewer High School drama students in action.

Brewer Middle School coordinator Rich Kimball wrote me that the one-act play, “The Chronicles of Jane, Book Seven,” will be performed, for your pleasure, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, March 21, at Brewer Middle School.

This is the play the students performed in the Maine Drama Festival.

Kimball said the play tells the story of a 16-year-old girl “who rules the universe, or at least thinks she does.”

In the lead is sophomore Abbie Armstrong, who was named Best Actress in the regional drama festival, Kimball wrote.

Junior Paul Morrow, who plays Norman, was selected as Best Actor.

Kimball added that “the entire cast received a special commendation from the judges for inventive use of physical theater imagery.”

Tickets for the performance are $3 for adults and $2 for students.

My co-worker, Ernie Clark, asked that I pass this information along, which I am most happy to do.

Because I know that members of Bangor High School Class of 1958 are doing all they can to locate everyone who was ever part of their class, I am listing all 22 of those they have not been able to find.

The fact that many in that class could have been members of Air Force families connected to the former Dow Air Force Base could be one of the reasons it may be difficult to locate them.
