Students to perform two short plays
The Freeport High School Theatre Department will offer back-to-back performances of two short plays, “With Two Wings” and “Paper or Plastic?,” to be performed by advanced theater students this weekend and next.
“With Two Wings,” is an unconventional retelling of the story of Icarus and Daedalus, where a young boy named Lyf must grapple with his father’s greatest secret, while wondering what the world “out there” is like. The short “Paper or Plastic?” is a comedy following a teen’s first job at a local grocery store, detailing the crazy customers and even crazier co-workers she encounters.
In-person performances will be held for invited guests only this Friday and Saturday.
Available, on-demand performances for general audiences will follow May 7 and 8.
