Get tickets for the MS production of 'Elsewhere'
When: Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20-21 at 7 p.m.
Where: Branch Theatre of the Walter Arts Center
At a boarding school in New Hampshire, the old head of school’s house is haunted — abandoned four decades ago after his child disappeared inside. But when four friends break in and try to spend the night on a dare, they discover a magic doorway into another world, Elsewhere. Elsewhere is everything they’ve always wanted – adventure, magic, purpose, a place where they can be their true selves.
But the world of pure imagination hides a darker secret full of nightmares — and the friends must embark on a harrowing and emotional journey into their fears to save themselves.
Tickets available online by clicking here. Adults are $10 and students are $7.
New merchandise available in the DutchZone
The forecast is calling for colder temperatures, so come get new zipped hoodies and colorful crewnecks in the DutchZone! Hours are 8-10 a.m. and 2-4 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We also have a selection of gently used outerwear and uniforms in the Dutch Exchange, which is now housed in the DutchZone.
Want to personalize your yearbook?
A personalized yearbook will help your student keep track of their book and add a special layer of memories.
Jostens will take personalized orders through Jan. 27. Add a name or 29 characters of type for $10 and icons for $5 each: the year, lion paw, interests, extracurriculars, causes, etc. Lots to choose from on their website.
Regular books will be on sale through April 1 for $75 and the extras for $100 until we sell out.
