JHS thespians hit the road

Jefferson High will inaugurate its new drama room Jan. 20 and 21 with Thornton Wilder’s one-act play, The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden. 

The play, which describes a family road trip in the 1930s amid a world being disrupted by modern transportation, features student thespians Grace Quigley, Peter Stock, Aubrey Rosenbaum, Steele Hansing and Bailee Silvonen — with Maddie Averill as Wilder’s “stage manager.” 

Showtime both evenings is 7 p.m. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for adults; veterans, teachers, and thespians, current and past, get in free.
