    Come see Frederick Knott's suspenseful thriller Wait Until Dark as it is presented by the Empress Theatre. Wait Until Dark first opened in 1966 for an extremely successful 374-performance run, before becoming a feature film starring Audrey Hepburn. This show truly is a classic thriller. Sam Henderson is a photographer. Sam and his wife, Susy, live in a basement apartment. Sam's responsibilities require that he be involved in frequent photography trips, often to far away places. Susy was recently involved in a terrible accident which left her blind. Adjusting to her new way of life, Susy is working to overcome the difficulties of living in the dark. Returning from one of his trips, Sam was approached by a woman who asked if he would help her by holding onto a doll she had purchased for her daughter. Her asserted purpose was to hide the doll from her daughter, thus preserving her surprise gift for just the right moment. Sam agrees but the woman never returns.

        The actors did a very good job and the play was very entertaining!! The stage area was well used, music sounded great, and the acting was superb. Definitely suggest seeing this play.

        Was it just me, or was "The Casualties" almost parallel to the pullitzer prize winning play "Rabbit Hole". If you are unsure, read it sometime. The similarities are quite suprising.

        While these four one act plays, all written by local high school students, lack the polish that comes from experience and from working with a show until it progresses to a hit, they are surprisingly well written and performed. The series consists of three comedies and one drama. The first of the quartet is a fairy tale search for a missing princess, If the Shoe Fits by Chelsea King, West Jordan High. Second a study in communication called Miscommunication by Gabriel Spencer, Hillcrest. The last is a look at Alzheimers, Unforgetable by Eva Terra Nova, Olympus. All performed surprisingly well. By far the best of the series is The Casualties by Megan Chase of Riverton High School. Examining the grief, guilt, and recrimination of a hit and run driver and the victim's sister, show find themselves stuck in an elevator. The performance of this amazing drama brought tears to my eyes. The Casualties by itself is worth the drive to Magna. Collapse
