OMS students to perform ‘Fractured’ ‘Fractured’
The theater department at Orefield Middle School is presenting the play “Fractured” onstage 7-8 p.m. Nov. 5 and 6 and 2-3 p.m. Nov. 7 in the auditorium.
Under the direction of Sam Schultz, OMS Language Arts Teacher, “Fractured” written by Eddie McPherson, is a story about the Mach up that happens when a fairy tale princess, Esmeralda, falls for a boy, Lance A. Lot from the mortal world creating chaos among a great number of fairy tale characters.
With lots of bumbling characters, a fairy godmother with restrictions, hilarity rules the day.
And as in all fairy tales, all works out in the end.
