FRANKLIN

Franklin High School presents ‘Trap’

The Franklin High School Drama Club will present ‘Trap’ by Stephen Gregg on Oct. 20, 21 and 22.

The play is about an incomprehensible event: every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious--every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders, and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past.

All performances will be at Franklin High School, 750 E. Fourth St. Franklin. Tickets are $10 adults, $8 seniors, and $5 students, and will be available at the door or online on the high school website.
