This evening I attended the opening night of the high school's Fall play, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." If you're looking for a good, light-hearted entertainment filled with laughs, this is the play for you. It's just what we need in cold, rainy - and potentially snowy - weather.
The students will perform again Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.
From the Effingham Daily News:
The play, written by St. Anthony teacher Nick Slicer, was adapted from the
1964 cult classic movie of the same name directed by Nicholas Webster.When the
children of Mars begin to suffer from a great depression, the Martian High Chief
Kimar realizes there is only one man to help save the planet: Santa Claus.
Kidnapped from his snowy fortress, Santa encounters killer robots, high-flying
spaceships and deadly ray guns as he attempts to spread Christmas joy throughout
the red planet. Meanwhile, an evil Martian named Voldar refuses to let this
happiness continue and plots to destroy Santa Claus and overthrow Chief Kimar.
