Hinsdale Central High School today announced that this year’s freshman play is “Just Another High School Play” by Bryan Starchman.

The play tells the story of a group of young actors abandoned by their drama teacher who then must fend for themselves on opening night in front of a live audience. Their teacher has left them because the students have not been showing up to rehearsals and consequently, they are not really quite sure what they are supposed to do. The student assistant director and the stage manager step in, find a box of scripts which they pass out to the cast, and try to throw something together. What follows is a show full of physical comedy, gags, and satirical re-writings of many plays from Shakespeare to Albee.

The show will run at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, and Saturday, October 10. A special late afternoon performance will take place at 4 p.m. on Friday, October 9. All performances will be in the auditorium. Tickets are $7 at the door. Reservations can be made by calling the box office at (630) 570-8365.
