You don't want to miss the World Premiere of the play, The Green Light!

This play was written by Kings High School graduates Alexandra Taylor and Kira Doebereiner who both participated in the Arts while at KHS.

The story...

Frenchie Fitzgerald has disappeared from Gilden Academy...right before announcing the winner of the Green Light Scholarship sponsored by her wealthy family. Aspiring student-journalist Aoife Desmond resolves to solve the case, but who knows what really happened? One of the scholarship applicants? Frenchie's boyfriend? Aoife joins forces with Fenchie's roommate and childhood friend, Jess Clark. Together, they try to unravel past scandals and navigate through current ones to get to the bottom of the mystery.

You can learn more about The Green Light and its characters on the play's Facebook and Instagram pages.

Showtimes are November 16-18 at 7:00 p.m. and a matinee at 2:00 p.m. on 11/18. Tickets are on sale now at kingstheatre.net. Don't miss this production!!
