Plenty of Drama at District Schools

The EBHS, Churchill and Hammarskjold all have plays and musicals lined up for this month.

Residents don’t have to look far if they want to catch a great play.

Three of East Brunswick’s schools and drama clubs are putting on shows right now for as little as $5.

At the high school, the East Brunswick High School Drama Club is set for its second weekend of “Guys and Dolls.” The story focuses on Nathan Detroit and his floating craps game. Watch as he struggles to scrape $1,000 together to rent a place for the game by betting the great gambler Sky Masterson that Sky can’t get pure-hearted Sarah Brown on a date to Havana.
