BCHS Spring Musical
The Drowsy Chaperone
March 22 - 24
The Drowsy Chaperone
is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical.
With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and a drowsy chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Save the Date!
The Annual Trojan Treasures Garage Sale will take place on
April 21 from 7 a.m. - noon.
Donate to the garage sale
As you embark on your spring cleaning, please
donate your items to the Trojan Treasures sale.
We
are now accepting donations in containers in the parking lot. Charitable tax donation forms will be in the containers
.
Donate to the estate sale
This year, in addition to the traditional garage sale, BCHS will again host a “virtual estate sale"
through EBTH.com.
This will help BCHS generate more profit for valuable items that sometimes sell for much less than their value during a garage sale. Examples of estate items that individuals may donate include jewelry, mid-century modern or antique furniture, fur coats, designer handbags, wool area rugs, fine art, unique or rare pieces, or vintage clothing. Donations will be accepted from now until April 20. Please contact Amy Solomon at 317-750-9652
