by Abe Polsky

Tickets are $12 for Adults and $10 for Students, Seniors, and Alice Ferguson Foundation Members. Cash or check only.

The action takes place at Sutter's Fort, in northern California, in 1847. Lewis Keseberg, a German emigrant and survivor of the tragic Donner Party expedition, has brought a suit for slander against several other survivors, who have accused him of being a grave robber and murderer. As the trial testimony proceeds the awful facts of the expedition's demise are revealed---the heavy snows which trapped them in the mountains; the starvation and death of women and children; the desperation which drove the few survivors to cannibalize the corpses of the dead. Keseberg does not deny the horror of what occurred, or the madness which made him a party to it, but he cannot live with the accusation that he deliberately killed for food and that he robbed the graves of the deceased. Ultimately he wins his case, but not before it is made eloquently clear that all involved will be burdened until the end of their lives with the terrible, numbing anguish of what they went through.

The McDonough High School Drama Department will present its fall musical, Zombie Prom, October 25, 26, 27 at 7 pm and October 28 at 2 pm. Ticket prices are $10 for adults, $8 for Students/Seniors, $7 for Thespians with ID card.  This production is based on a story by John Dempsey and Hugh Murphy, and features music by Dana P. Rowe with Book and Lyrics by John Dempsey. Over 70 MHS Students are involved with the production which promises to be a fun-filled evening of theatre for mature audiences.  Please contact Jana Heyl at 301-609-8198 for more information or to make reservations. The venue does have assigned seating.  Zombie Prom is a "girl loves ghoul" rock and roll musical set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy, Jonny Warner. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee's heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50's hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.
