Performance: November 3, 2011, 7 p.m.

Anson New Technology High School is very proud to announce the upcoming performance of "Beyond the Color Purple: Bring Anson Back" a play based on the oral histories of Anson County. In association with Serena Ebhardt and David zum Brunnen of EbzB Productions, our students have developed our very first school wide play. Many classes have participated in the process of creating "Beyond the Color Purple". Our Local and State History students have done extensive research and interviews with a wide variety of community members to collect personal histories of Anson County residents with the Ansonia Theater and their experiences as focuses. The transcriptions of these interviews were used by our Creative Writing class to create a script for our stage play. Several of our freshman English students have taken on the responsibilities of the backgrounds, props, costumes and make-up for the performances. Additionally 20 of our students volunteered and risen to play important roles as actors to bring the script created by their peers to life.

Our play will be performed at the newly renovated Ansonia Theater in Wadesboro on Thursday, November 3rd at 7pm. We invite the entire community to come and enjoy an evening of entertainment created by our talented students' hard work.
