This weekend, the cast and crew of the fall drama And a Child Shall Lead took their play to Greenwich High School for the Connecticut Drama Association (CDA) festival. They performed at 3:30 in the afternoon on Friday, the first of eleven participating schools.

Junior Nick Zanca, who played Martin Lowy, explained how unusual it was to perform the show twice and in two different venues. “What’s interesting about this show compared to other shows I’ve been in at the high school is that the rehearsal process was elongated,” he said. “After our run of the show in October, I wasn’t as upset as I usually get after the final performance, because we all knew we had more to do with the show. Once we got back into rehersal about a month ago and started cutting, everything was already memorized. We all knew this show like the back of our hands…”

The tree damage has been devastating in most areas. Colin Brown, an Environmental Educator at the New Canaan Nature Center, has been living on site for a year and a half at the Center and has never seen this kind of devastation there. “Around 15 to 20 trees probably fell; six or seven trees blocked the trails,” Mr. Brown said. “The rain wasn’t that bad, it was a normal March or April rain, but the wind was very strong…”

The Drama Department has put together its “most innovative PR scheme yet” to build excitement for its upcoming production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. For the first time, the department has worked with NCTV to produce nine commercials in which eight faculty members get to try out their acting skills as the leading players in the show “murder” them one by one.
