Art One: 3D and Woods Production students had the pleasure of listening to Dwight Hershberger share his experiences, advice, and work as a wood carver today. Art students are halfway through their own plaster carving figures and so it was great to get another perspective from someone who does it everyday.

Don’t miss out on the MTHS Fall Play - CLUE! Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, CLUE is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth, the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out … WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! CLUE will be performed at the Kenneth H. Maurer Performing Arts Center from September 15-17, 2023, with performances starting at 7 PM on the 15-16, and 2 PM on 17th.
