Fighting in school is normally frowned upon, but this month local schools are actually encouraging it.
That’s the message from Megan E. Greenlee-Potts, the artistic director of the Martin-Lipscomb Performing Art Center’s Youth Theater Program, now in its 11th year.
The students in Greenlee-Potts’ program have spent the year learning the intricacies of hand-to-hand stage fighting. The acting ensemble will demonstrate their skills, with help from their technical theater counterparts, to their classmates as they take the spring production “On Tour” in a series of shows at Highlands School for both the middle school and the high school students, Blue Ridge School for the middle school, the high school, Blue Ridge Early College, Summit Charter School, and Macon Middle School, April 25-27. The public is invited to attend the free performances set for 7:00 P.M. Saturday, April 28, at Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library; and 3:00 P.M. Sunday, April 29, at the Highlands Performing Arts Center.
