STILL LIFE WITH IRIS
by Steven Dietz

Saturday, April 22 @ 7 pm

In the magical world of Nocturno, all the things we see by day are made by the people who live there at night while the rest of the world sleeps.  When young Iris' past coat is taken from her and her memories are stolen, she must go on a journey to reclaim her past and discover herself.  Through a series of encounters with new friends from different times and different worlds, "Still Life with Iris" chronicles Iris' quest to regain her memory and with it her home. Don't miss this fun, fantasy adventure for children of all ages!

General admission tickets will be on sale beginning April 17th in the BHS Performing Arts Office and also available at the door.
