You Were Born on a Rotten Day at SHS drama club
The SHS Drama Department staged Christopher Sergel's You Were Born on a Rotten Day on Friday and Saturday. Scott Hubbard led as a picked-on physics teacher with strong supporting turns from Mike Smith as a dull coach and Linda Boyer as the principal. The satire follows a scientist torn between science and astrology amid community debates, with enthusiastic audience reaction and a large cast including Roy Witherow as a town councilman and Greg Rehner as an MIT professor.
