Vampires on the St. Luke's Hilltop

St. Luke's had never seen anything like it—the suspense, intrigue and fine acting of this year's Upper School production of Dracula entranced its audiences on both nights.

The play was written by Steven Dietz who took inspiration from the Gothic novel written by Irish novelist Bram Stoker in 1897.

Directed by Jereme Anglin, Director of Theatre Arts, Dracula was brought to life by an acting ensemble that included a few first time actors who presented their lines with impressive foreign accents that delighted the audience.

The eerie, tragic feel of the play was created by the talented Tech Crew who built the sets, designed the dramatic lighting schemes and devised the music and sound effects that made the play a standout production.

St. Luke's theatre benefits annually from the help of parent volunteers who take on the task of costumes and makeup—their handiwork this year was especially impressive and gave audiences characters and monsters they will long remember.

Congratulations to the cast and crew for yet another season of stellar showmanship!

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.
