The Mt. Ararat High School Stage Company will perform the one-act play “Le Moulin” in the Mt. Ararat High School Commons at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
“Le Moulin,” written by seniors Hilary and Morgana Warner-Evans, is the story of Mary Cunningham, a wealthy Brunswick girl, played by senior Allie Bouchard, who is sent into the Cabot Mill by her father’s friend Benjamin Greene, portrayed by sophomore Brian Messmer, to talk the mule spinners out of striking for the same pay they would receive at the Lewiston mill.
While working at the mill, Mary befriends a French Canadian ring spinner, Jeanne Guilbault (freshman Amy Eldredge). The story takes place circa 1887, the year of a strike by mule spinners at the Cabot Mill.
