Eighth Graders Present "Matter of Time"

Collegiate School 8th Graders present their annual student-written play, Matter of Time, Friday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. in Oates Theater.
The play follows two ever-arguing siblings, Hannah and Leon, as they find themselves trapped in time and space. They encounter ridiculous people and alternate universes that they never knew existed. Hannah and Leon must work together to travel back to the present — if they can ever stop fighting.

Since early January, the 8th Graders have been hard at work creating the original script, which includes a student-written soundscape and student choreography. The cast and crew of 120 features actors, dancers and technicians who work on the set, lighting, sound, makeup and costumes.

“The play is a culmination of the fine arts curriculum in Middle School,” said drama teacher Jenny Hundley, who serves as the production’s director. “We’re building on lessons we’re learning in the classroom, but it’s also a rite of passage.”
