The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy will not get in the way of the Ridgefield High School Department of Visual and Performing Arts fall production. Even without school, the cast and crew have been busy working hard to make sure the show will go on!
"Still Life With Iris," is a fantasy-adventure-drama with a touch of comedy by Steven Dietz. It is the story of Iris, a 10-year-old girl who lives in the fantastical world of Nocturno where the inhabitants create all the earth's wonders at night-even painting the spots on the ladybugs! When the rulers of Nocturno, the Great Goods who collect the best of everything, choose Iris to be their one best daughter, she must give up her "PastCoat" where her memories are kept. A single button is her only clue in her struggle to find her way back home.
