Boo! Don’t worry, that’s not the sound of the audience, it’s just the ghosts! If you love getting into the Halloween spirit, join the Dramatic Arts Club on a fun journey through five haunted horror stories! Scared Silly is a fun comedic play, so bring your friends and family on October 28th and 29th.

The play features five short stories, under the direction of Ms. Sweeney. However, this play is different from past productions, since each story was assistant-directed by a student. These students put a lot of work into establishing their scenes as Ms. Sweeney guided them through the directing skills necessary to coordinate a performance.
