LMS Presents
A Seussified Pride and Prejudice
Liberty Middle School proudly presents
A Seussified Pride and Prejudice
production on October 12 & 13 at 7 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by clicking
here
.
The greatest romance in all of English literature gets a wacky, rhyming makeover. The Bennet girls have a chance to meet well-to-do gents at the Ding-A-Ling Prance Dance, but there might be some relatives in the way before they can ride off into the sunset on Honk Jingle Horses. This whimsical retelling is something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he had his way with the time-tested Jane Austen classic.

DMS Presents
Crazytown!
Discovery Middle School presents
Crazytown!

HMS Presents Alice in Wonderland
Heritage Middle School will present Alice in Wonderland November 1, 2, and 3 at 7 p.m. inside the HMS Auditorium. Tickets are currently being sold for $5 and can be purchased online by
clicking here
, or at the LPS Fine Arts office, or at the door.
As the curtain rises, Alice slides into view at the end of her long fall down the rabbit hole. It is a more delightful place for the audience than for Alice, though, who is trying desperately to get back home. She tries to get help from the Mad Hatter, the Rabbit, and from the
very nice Cheshire Cat to name a few. Instead of helping her, Tweedledee and Tweedledum get into a fight - The Mad Hatter has a tea party - and even the Cheshire Cat is enigmatic. So poor Alice even decides to ask for help from the evil Queen of Hearts. The action in this show is fast-paced and depicts all of the delightful charm of Lewis Carroll's great classic!
