Jan. 30 — BGHS Drama Club presents ‘Family Matters’
The Battle Ground High School Drama Club is kicking off its production of “Family Matters” on Thursday, Jan. 30. Written by Sandra Finchel Asher, the production presents the “full catastrophe” of family life, embracing its comic, dramatic, farcical and tragic realities. The monologues and scenes deal with issues that almost all families deal with, as well as other issues that families must sometimes confront, such as neglect, abandonment, abuse and sexual assault.
This play is presented without depictions of physical violence; however, due to the intense emotional content, this play is not recommended for anyone under the age of 13. Performances will be from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 and Feb. 13 to Feb. 15. All performances will begin at 7 p.m. in The Lair at Battle Ground High School, 300 W. Main St., Battle Ground. Tickets are $7 for the general public with discounts for seniors, students and staff. Tickets are available at wa-battleground.intouchreceipting.com/ or at the door on the day of the show.
