McNicholas Theatre presents Hope Springs
The McNicholas Theatre Department proudly announces its upcoming performance of Hope Springs. The play will run November 6-8 at McNicholas High School in the Jeanne Spurlock Theatre.
Hope Springs explores big issues for young people when a group of teenagers stage a rebellion after being sent to a remote island for "behavior modification." When all communications with the correctional facility are lost, two educational inspectors visit the island to investigate, and what they find is more than they bargained for.
This show explores themes of mental health, identity, and leadership.
General Admission $10
This show is appropriate for older audiences as it does include some darker themes.
