"Snow Angel" Comes to Life This Weekend

WATERTOWN -- "Snow Angel" will come to life this weekend on the Watertown High School stage.

The production, the school's seventh annual fall play, will highlight the work of 50 students, who will appear on stage and direct the show, and also constructed the set and designed the costumes.

Under the direction of students Nate Davino, Jennifer Beveridge and Parker Jack, the story follows a mysterious teenage boy who suddenly appears following a historic blizzard. The snow angel Evan, played Josh Rodis, meets with outcast teen Frida, played by Eliya Brennan, and a cast of classmates who are curious about this mysterious stranger who emerges on a random snow day in their town. “Snow Angel” is a funny and eerie tale of teen angst, discovery and the power of believing.

“Snow Angel” is a 1999 play written by Tony-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, who also penned the play "Rabbit Hole" and wrote the book and lyrics for "Shrek the Musical."

The production is appropriate for all ages. Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the auditorium at Watertown High School, 324 French St.

Tickets, which are available at the door, are $10 for adults, and $5 for children ages 5 and younger.
