Drama, Drama

• Bonny Eagle High School Drama presents the great American comedy, The Front Page, by veteran Chicago reporters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. The play tells the story of a group of jaded reporters for Chicago newspapers in 1928 who are determined to “get the scoop” no matter what. This biting satire tackles all aspects of Chicago’s “Roaring ’20s” society, including the news business first, politicians, incompetent police and high society. Come see the madcap escapades of Hildy Johnson and his news cronies as the exciting plot unfolds in front of your eyes. All shows will be held at the Bonny Eagle High School auditorium on Nov. 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. and a special matinee show at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

• Schoolhouse Arts Center’s Half-Pint Players will present Lyrics, Limericks and Rhymes on Nov. 16 at Schoolhouse Arts Center at Sebago Lake.
