Papillion La Vista South High School's (PLSHS) Play Production class, under the direction of teacher Mary Dickson, is set to debut their first show of the year, "A Monster Calls," this weekend. The emotional tale of love, loss, and courage will take center stage at the school's auditorium from October 4th to 6th.

The performances are scheduled for Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th at 7:00 PM, with a matinee on Sunday, October 6th at 2:00 PM. Tickets are priced at $5 for students and $10 for adults, and will be available for purchase at the door.

The play follows the story of Conor, a young boy grappling with his mother's illness. As treatments seem ineffective, Conor is visited nightly by the same dream. However, one night, an unexpected visitor appears at his window – an ancient, elemental force of nature demanding the most dangerous thing from Conor: the truth.

PLSHS students will bring this powerful narrative to life, showcasing their talents and inviting the community to experience a story that resonates with themes of facing difficult truths and finding courage in challenging times.

This production marks the beginning of the school year for the PLSHS Play Production class, promising an engaging start to their theatrical season. Director Mary Dickson and her students have been working diligently to present this thought-provoking play to the community.

The school encourages local residents and theater enthusiasts to support these young performers in their artistic endeavors. Don't miss this opportunity to witness the talents of PLSHS students as they tackle this emotionally charged and thought-provoking play. Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable theatrical experience at Papillion La Vista South High School this weekend.
