MVHS Drama Presents "The Children's Hour"

When a schoolgirl’s whispered lie spreads, it triggers a chain of events with extraordinary consequences. Karen Wright and Martha Dobie run a girls’ boarding school in 1930s New England, where they become entangled in a devastating story of deceit, shame, and courage. The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman received its world premiere on Broadway in 1934, but was banned in London and several cities across America. Generations on, its potent exploration of a culture of fear and bullying remains startlingly relevant.

Mission Viejo High School Drama presents The Children’s Hour directed by Kathy Cannarozzi Harris on December 3,4,5 at 7:00pm at the Performing Arts Theater on the MVHS campus. The production features Hailey Buck as Karen Wright, Mary Desmond as Martha Dobie, Trevor Casillas as Dr. Joe Cardin, Jordanne Hamilton as the eccentric Mrs. Mortar, Bianca Beach as Mrs. Amelia Tilford and Virginia Rumbaugh as the vindictive schoolgirl Mary TIlford.
