MHS Thespians open year with ‘Rose and the Rime’

Merrillville, Ind. -- Great theater is as close as Merrillville High School.

The public is invited to join the award-winning MHS Thespian Troupe as it presents its fall production of "Rose and The Rime," a Midwestern fairy tale written by Nathan Allen, Chris Mathews and Jake Minton.

The play will be presented in Merrillville High School's Reinhart Auditorium, entrance M at the back of the school. Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 4 through 6, and also at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7.

Tickets are available at the door: $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, and $5 for students. "The Rose and the Rime" is about young Rose who lives a peaceful, carefree life in her tiny wintry town of Radio Falls. One day when Rose asks her Uncle Roger the truth of what happened to her parents, she learns there’s more to the history of Radio Falls than she could have ever realized.
