A couple weeks into rehearsals for their spring musical of "Big Fish," all school activities were put on hold.

Director Laura Michels recalled that Meg Johnson, a senior this year who has been Michels' stage manager the past three years, had previously given her a copy of a script Johnson had been working on, and an idea was formed!

"At first, I didn't know how we could use it, but now we have adapted it for "radio" and plan to release an audio recording of it," Michels said.

Johnson shared: "I had shared the script with Laura earlier this year for advice on editing and revising... I never expected that we would actually use the script for a show."

According to Johnson, the 45-minute play, titled "The Walls Have Eyes," is "a spin on the cliche horror troupes, but with a twist."

The students rehearsed via Google Hangouts and they are excited for the release of the radio show.
