NHS Seniors to Present 'Surviving Reality'

The Norton High School senior class will present the play “Surviving Reality” this week.

A comedy by Daniel O’Donnell, “Surviving Reality” is about the owner of a small local television station who decides to make millions of dollars by producing a reality television show. He enlists two families, the once-rich Tuttletons and the hillbilly Hatters, to participate in a series of challenges. The The problem is, he promised the winners $1 million...which he doesn’t have. His solution is to make the challenges near impossible. Will the contestants stick it out, or will they fail? Will the show be a flop? Come by the Norton High School auditorium March 14 and 16 to find out.

"It's hard to tell how funny something is going to be just by the synopsis, so don't trust the little snippet we gave you, see it for yourself," said Maggie Morris.

"Unless you thought it was hilarious," added Justin Baird.

They also noted that the costumes alone make for great comedy.

Showtime is 7 p.m. Admission is $5, with proceeds going directly to the Class of 2013.

"It's really important because we do a lot of fun things at the end of the year and the more fundraising we get, the more fun we get," said Christen Cavanaugh.
