Wheeler High School Presents: Wit

On October 20, 21, and 22, Wheeler High School's Drama Club presents Wit (stylized as W;t) by Margaret Edson.

Vivian Bearing is a professor of seventeenth century English poetry, specializing in the Holy Sonnets of John Donne. She has worked hard to get where she is: highly respected among her coworkers at the university and a highly regarded literary figure.

She is diagnosed with stage four metastatic ovarian cancer, and the play begins. Typically a memory play, this time portrayed in the present, W;t documents Vivian's journey to accepting her death, and what it means.

The show will be taking place in the Wendy Gilstrap Blackbox Theatre at Wheeler High School. There will be signs leading to the theatre, as well as ushers who can direct you to the theatre.

Tickets are $5 at the door.
