The Hopkinton Middle School Drama Club will present "New England Song" at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 and Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Hopkinton Middle School auditorium, 88 Hayden Rowe St.
New England Song is a celebration of New England nature, thought, and heritage, featuring major works of three New England authors: Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Nature," which founded the ideals of American Transcendentalism; Louisa May Alcott's beloved portrayal of New England life in her novel Little Women, and Henry David Thoreau's masterpiece of natural idealism, Walden. It is three shows in one, with one common theme, and has been a unique and moving experience not only for the students involved, but--we hope! -- for the audience. There is a cast of 100 students and a crew of nearly 40, making this (just barely) the largest student production ever at the school.
Tickets will be $8 students/seniors and $10 adults, but with a donation to the Project Just Because New Toy/New Book program, there will be a $2 discount per ticket per donation. Tickets may be purchased in the HMS Main Office in advance or at the door.
