La Honda Elementary School’s after school drama club performs “El Nino” this Friday and Saturday night. The play is handwritten and “sculpted” by Jessica Abbe, (a school board member and parent of 2 La Honda students), with the rich history and colorful nature of La Honda and it’s surrounding communities combined in a medley of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” intermingled with music, events and characters of La Honda in the 1960’s. Current-day issues and technologies are blended in for some good laughs. The cast consists of 32 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders with parent volunteers Bruce Krempetz directing, his wife Heather McAvoy doing stage-lighting, and Michael Shaff as sound engineer.
The curtain opens at 7 pm sharp on Friday Mar. 18 and Sat. Mar. 19 in La Honda Elementary School’s Multi-Purpose Room, at 61 Sears Ranch Road in La Honda. Adult tickets are $7 and children are $5. All proceeds go to La Honda PTA and to fund more drama at La Honda Elementary. More info: 650.747.0051
