PHS Drama: Spine-Tingling Suburb, Time-Honored 'Town'

Updated March 8, 2012 with additional photos.

drama students will perform two very different plays this week: the classic Our Town, suitable for the whole family, and the chilling Neighborhood 3, recommended only for ages 14 and up.

Our Town, Thornton Wilder's heartwarming love story about small town life, opens Thursday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. and repeats Saturday, March 10, at 8 p.m.

Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom, a new horror play about a dysfunctional suburban community, opens Friday, March 9, at 8 p.m., with a repeat performance Sunday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. It focuses on society's lack of communication and obsession with technology and how the lines between reality and imagination can blur. For mature audiences (ages 14 and up) only.

Tickets for both plays are $8 for students and $12 for adults. All performances are at Piedmont High, 800 Magnolia Ave.
