Harrison High School’s drama club, HHS Playhouse, is
currently in rehearsals for a production of The Children's Hour, by Lillian Hellman.

The Children's Hour is the story about two teachers, Karen Wright (played by Mikie Sakanaka) and Martha Dobie (played by Andi Rella), whose lives are ruined when Mary
Tilford (played by Roma Scarano), an angry and vengeful student, spreads a rumor that the two teachers are having an affair.

The play was originally produced on Broadway in 1934. The production was chosen and is directed by two Harrison High School seniors, Jose Porretti and Emma Adler. Poretti and Adler chose the production to illustrate how rumors can damage careers, relationships and lives.

The Children's Hour will be performed at the Harrison Performing Arts Center at Harrison High School on Friday, April 20th and Saturday, April 21st at 7pm. There will be one matinee performance on Saturday, April 21st at 2pm.

Saturday's matinee will be followed by a 15- minute talk-back session with the director, cast and crew.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and will be available at the door.

Please note, due to the sensitive subject matter, this play is not recommended for children under the age of 14. The Children's Hour is produced with special permission from
Dramatists Play Service.
