Northview High School later this month will bring John Steinbeck’s classic Depression era novel to life with its presentation of Of Mice and Men, one of America’s most enduring stories.

Of Mice and Men tells the timeless story of George and Lennie, an unlikely pair of friends drifting from job to job across the farms and fields of California, holding fast to their dream of one day owning an acre of land to call their own. The play recently enjoyed a successful Broadway revival starring James Franco and Chris O’Dowd.

Junior John Allen stars in the lead role of George and senior Gal Moskovitch is his simple minded companion, Lennie. Rounding out the cast is junior Carson Matte as Curley, junior McKenzie Rivers as his wannabe starlet wife, junior Austin Hunter as Candy and Matthieu David, Mohamad Wehbe and Roma Khudoleyev.

The show is helmed by Northview’s dramatic arts director Paul McClain, and was produced during the advanced drama production class at Northview High School. The set was designed by McClain and constructed by technical theatre classes at Northview. Northview’s Theatre Department will be taking this show to compete at the Regional One Act Competition, where the school has won multiple awards in previous years.

There will be four performances of Of Mice and Men: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23-25 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m.

All performances will be held in the Northview auditorium, located at 10625 Parsons Road in Johns Creek. The doors will open a half-hour before performance time. Tickets are $10 for students/seniors and $12 for adults.
