GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Year-Long Drama
The play, “Up The Down Staircase,” opens TONIGHT at 7:30 pm in the Ridge Theatre. The show continues to run Thursday Feb 9 @ 8:00pm (to accommodate our Open House), then Feb, 10, 11, and 15-18 at 7:30 pm each night. This play is both funny and insightful; it tells the tale of a new teacher coming into an inner-city school in 1959, where she is full of hope and the desire to make things better, but finds that making change is never easy. Tickets are $7.50 at the door (no pre-sales).
***NOTE: Due to the weather, a final decision about TONIGHT's show will be made by 5:00 pm. Efforts will be made to post an update on the Claremont website at that time***
