'Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close' and 'Miracle Worker' to be performed Thursday night at LCHS

[March 15, 2012]  The sectional-bound contest play and group interpretation teams from Lincoln Community High School will host a free public performance of their sectional entries on Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m.

The group interpretation team will perform Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" in the Instructional Materials Center. The 30-minute interpretation of the 2005 novel tells a distinct story based on the novel, rather than the movie version, but still follows Oskar Schell, an 8-year-old who loses his father in the World Trade Center on 9/11. The group interpretation story is directed by Jennifer Keith and assisted by Elizabeth Landes.

Following that performance, audience members will go down the hallway to the band room for the contest play presentation of William Gibson's "The Miracle Worker." The contest play is directed by Brian Welter and will last under 40 minutes.

Typically, both of these performances would be in the LCHS auditorium, but it is undergoing renovations to the seats and ceiling.
