Putting on a Show

Students performed Hercules this spring before a crowded audience at the
Del Maestro Auditorium at Wilson Community College.

Hercules is a comedy adventure that sends the title character on a series of impossible
tasks to win back the love his girlfriend after his evil stepmother Hera curses her with
an anti-love potion. What seems like an impossible challenge turns into a hilarious
series of events that ultimately leads to Hercules’ success.

This play was incredibly fun for both the audience and students. We had 31 students
as actors, as well as 4 students who helped run tech. They committed to two months of
rehearsing after school to put this show together. While several students had been on
stage before this show, many of the students stepped into the lights for the first time.
Each student found something that they enjoyed and can be a part of their lives for
many years ahead.

The show was truly a team effort. Parents, teachers, and students from all over the
school helped bring the show to life. Our theater program is proving to be a place
where the whole school can come together to create a piece of art that everyone can
enjoy. The theater program at Greenfield School is growing, and we cannot wait to see
where it goes next!
