-Saturday, December 7th, 7pm
-Sunday, December 7th, 2pm
All performances will be held at the WHHS cafeteria/stage.
Tickets for all performances: tinyurl.com/WHHS-Fall-2024-Play
Tickets will also be available at the door.
Synopsis:
This year's winter play is called "An Absolutely True Story (as Told by a Bunch of Lying Liars)." Basically, someone - either a clumsy teen, one of those teens’ friends, or maybe the family dog - broke a priceless family heirloom (a vase) and everyone has a story about why it wasn't them. The stories become increasingly ridiculous until the truth, or more than one version of it (pretty much depending on what universe you are in), is eventually revealed. It's a comedy and it'll be a good time.
We hope to see you there! #VanguardPride

The fourth graders spent the week before Thanksgiving disguising turkeys and writing step-by-step instructions explaining how they completed their drawings. They then had a classmate try to recreate their turkeys by reading and following their directions.
We think they did a pretty good job with their directions!
