Don’t Forget Your Flashlight

By Sam Owen

It’s time to face our fears. 

At least for those of us Afraid of the Dark.

Opening night is finally upon us. After months of preparation, our drama department is ready to present its production. Crowds will make their way to Harbor Hall to be seated tonight at seven p.m. as the pride and joys of our upcoming play realize the fruit of their efforts.

Elizabeth Silverstein (12), one of the tech students responsible for the sound effects that hold the power to make or break a performance, embodied the emotions of many of her crewmates, expressing, “I feel like we are almost there and, although it is stressful, everyone is filled with anticipation and excitement to share what we have worked so hard on.”

Returning veteran Emma Yeap (12) is also a devoted crew member. She opened up about tonight’s performance, explaining, “I am feeling excited and nervous for the play. I am glad that it is coming up and really proud of the cast, the props, and the programming that everyone worked really hard to put together. Hope that everyone enjoys the show as much as we enjoyed putting it together for all of us.”

Three long-awaited showtimes have been prepared as students have poured their time, energy, and passion into doing James Reach’s Afraid of the Dark justice. This adaptation has intertwined mystery and comedy in an experience you won’t want to miss.

All’s not lost if Friday’s not for you. Tickets are available for two p.m. and seven p.m. the next night for any of the Dalat community excited to come out and support their own. All you have to do is head on down to the front office or contact a student involved in putting on the production. Just that and bring ten ringgit for the transaction.

Tickets are available. Show times are abundant. What’s stopping you from enjoying your weekend with a little extra laughter?
