CENTER POINT, Ala.–The Center Point High School theatre program put on its first performance of the year last week, which also offered students an opportunity to help make a difference in the community.
The program partnered with First Priority of Alabama in presenting the show and running a food drive in lieu of charging admission.
“I really want them to become more civic-minded as they’re starting to grow up,” said first-year CPHS theatre director Timothy Kersey.
“Rather than charging money we’re doing the food drive and that’s a way to connect with several of the local churches and some other civic organizations.”
The performance consisted of a one act play, four scenes, and three monologues.
For many Center Point students this was the first time they have had an opportunity to perform since there were no plays last year.
The 12 students, who had been rehearsing since mid-August, also used the event to prepare for their first competitive performance this month along with other high schools from across the state.
