Freshmen at Crossland Ninth Grade Center will begin with the Jerome McDonough play Asylum, an ensemble play that “is the essence of simple theatre with the emphasis placed on innovative performance and direction.” TheatreCrossland will present the play October 15-16 at the GHS Bagby-McMahan Performing Arts Center.
Pirate Players at Acton Middle School will hold the annual fall musical on December 9-10.
