Plainfield North High School Fall Play Performance

Plainfield North High School is staging a unique modern play called, "What I Want to Say But Never Will," at 7:30 p.m.  Friday, November 12 and Saturday, November 13, 2010.  Both performances will be held in the PNHS auditorium, 12005 South 248th Street, Plainfield.

"What I Want to Say But Never Will," was written last year by English teacher and author Alan Haehnel.  The production is a woven series of responses from teens to Haehnel's questions: "What is it that you want to say but never will?  To whom would you say it? And why won't you say it?"

The show features a series of monologues connected by a narrator.  The monologues address issues from "I'm tired of hearing about the boy you like," to more complex issues like divorce and sexual identity.

"In general, the play is a roller coaster ride of emotion that does a good job of seeing multiple sides of complex issues," PNHS Fall Play Director Karl Smith said.  "The play is really about opening a dialogue between students and their parents and creating the opportunity to have difficult conversations."

***Due to the mature nature of the monologues, the production is intended for audiences of high school age and above.

Tickets can be purchased at the door the day of the performances, or they can be purchased in advance by calling Lori Kraus at (815) 230-4500 ext. 832634.  Tickets cost $6 for adults and $4 for students and senior citizens.

Refreshments will be available for purchase during intermission.  All proceeds from the performances will help to further support the theater program at PNHS.
