Lacey Township High School Drama Club To Present LITTLE WOMEN

Lacey Township High School will present its fall play, Little Women, on November 30 at 7:00 pm and two performances on December 1, 2018 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm in the LTHS Auditorium. The fall play is an annual production of the school's Drama Club and the first performance of the LTHS Performing Arts Department this school year.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The story follows the women of the March family - sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, and their mother, Marmee - as they pursue a life of resilience and self-identity in a society whose expectations often conflict with what the head and the heart desire.

This production of Little Women is an adaptation by Marisha Chamberlain and presented through special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (www.playscripts.com). The show features 36 students in the cast and crew representing all grade levels including LTHS Drama Club officers, students recognized for Outstanding Achievement in the 2018 Ocean County Teen Arts Festival, and a number of students making their first stage appearance. The play is directed by theatre and English teacher Dr. Jim DeVivo. Ticket prices are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for senior citizens and Lacey students and can be purchased at the door or through the online reservation page at http://lthsdrama.booktix.com. Seating is general admission.

LTHS Drama Club produces two shows each school year in conjunction with the school curriculum of theatre classes, and charter as Thespian Troupe #8045, a member of the New Jersey chapter of the International Thespian Society, a division of the Educational Theatre Association. The Theatre & Drama program is part of the larger Performing Arts Department at LTHS that includes programs in band, choir, guitar, music technology, and theatre.
