Moses Lake High School play premieres March 1

MOSES LAKE — The curtain rises March 1 at the Moses Lake High School theater on a tale of a teenager facing challenges within and without. The MLHS production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” is scheduled for 7 p.m. March 1, 4 and 5 and 2 p.m. March 2. The title is from a Sherlock Holmes story, but the play has nothing to do with Victorian times. Beck Ashton, who’s one of the leads, said it presented the actors and actresses with a challenge. “It’s a difficult play,” Ashton said. Director and drama advisor Sharon Winningham said trying something new was the idea.
