On Wednesday, January 27, 2010, at 7 p.m., the King George High School Theatre Department presents “Four.”  The event presents four one-act plays that were the result of collaboration between the school’s Advanced Creative Writing class and Advanced Theatre Classes.

Initially, the presentation began as a workplace mock-up where writers learned about the task of creating and revising a script for actors; similarly, the actors experienced the opportunity to ask questions about the scripts from real-time writers.  As the exercise progressed, though, it became clear that students and teachers in both courses wanted to see the works performed for a live audience.

Keeping in mind principal Todd Satterwhite’s encouragement to make this a year where students continue to grow though community service, it was decided that the performance proceeds should go toward assisting student Morgan Clift, who was injured in a serious car accident in 2009.  “Four,” in essence, is for Morgan.

This will be the second benefit performance by the KGHS theatre department.  Last year, proceeds from one of the highly successful performances of “Big River” were contributed to the Win for Wesley fund.

The evening promises to be an entertaining foray into the insights and talents of many of King George High School’s creative spirits. 

Admission to “Four” is $4.
