FHS PLAY TO BE HELD
On Friday and Saturday, November 11th and 12th at 7pm, Fairfield High School Drama will be performing “Check, Please” by Jonathan Rand in the Fairfield High School Auditorium. There is no charge for admission.
The cast includes Rex Zongker as “Guy” and Sierra Lanning as “Girl,” each of whom go on a series of horrible blind dates, all at the same restaurant, “The Falcon’s Nest.” Come find out if either of them ever finds true romance.
Some of these “dates” have some interesting qualities. One is a little older, while another is a little younger. Yet another wants to take it all with her, and another is a little too eager. Come see the drama unfold!
There will be a variety of opening skits, followed by intermission and the main event!
