Mounds Park Academy Theatre Arts Department will present the Winter Show, DARK OF THE MOON, by Howard Richarson and William Berney, at 8:00 PM, January 18, 19, 25, and 26, 2013, in the Black Box Theatre. Tickets are available for reservation (very highly recommended, as our seating capacity is limited) at 651-748-5660. Ticket prices are $10 for adults, and $8 for students and senior citizens.
DARK OF THE MOON is set in 1915 Appalachia, and its story takes place in two worlds: “up the mountain,” the realm of witches and conjurers, and down in the valley where the regular folk live. The two worlds intersect when John, a witch boy, wants to become human so he can be with Barbara Allen, a human girl he’s fallen in love with. The result is a dark, troublesome, moving love story. Music plays a very important part in the telling of the story, as does the powerful presence of the Church, superstition, and the supernatural.
This production would be most enjoyed by students age 13 and up.
