April 29 through May 1
Murray City Cultural Arts and the Murray School District will team up to present a Shakespeare Festival April 29 through May 1. A free green show in the Murray High Commons area will begin the festivities each night at 6 PM (excluding May 1), featuring a royalty processional and vignettes by Longview 6th grade students and a Punch and Judy puppet show presented by Hillcrest Junior High. Murray High drama students will present a sonnet "Idol" style competition that will involve audience voting at 7:30 PM, followed by Midsummer's Night Dream at 8 PM in the Little Theater. Tickets for the play may be purchased at the door for only $3 as this program is partially funded by a ZAP grant. High school advanced drama students will also be presenting free improv and stage combat workshops for students in grades 5-9 on Friday, April 30 from 4 to 5:30 PM in the MHS Little Theater. Registration forms for the workshops are available from junior high and high school drama teachers, at the Murray Parks Office and will be sent home through 5th and 6th grade classes.
