Cast Announced for Archmere Fall Play, "The Brightest Thing"

Auditions for the Archmere fall play production, The Brightest Thing (or The Squonk Play), were held this summer on campus. The play is regarded as an American Fable that's tinged with sadness about a girls' imaginary journey in a hot air balloon to rescue her mother. Along the way she meets helpful friends like an out-of-work fairy, a hot-air balloon enthusiast, and a lovable, but very emotional, Squonk. The show runs Friday, October 7th and Saturday, October 8th.
