Encore for ‘Anatomy of Gray’ at Warner Robins High

Warner Robins High School will hold an encore performance of its one-act play, “Anatomy of Gray,” 2 p.m. Sunday.

Admission is $5 at the door. All proceeds will go toward funding participation of 24 students in the Georgia Thespian Conference Feb. 12 in Columbus.

Set in Indiana during the late 1800's, “Anatomy of Gray” deals with death, loss, love and healing in a unique coming-of-age story. When June's father dies, she prays for a healer to come to the small town of Gray so that no one will ever suffer again. The next thing she knows, there is a tornado and a man in a balloon blows into town claiming to be a doctor.

Warner Robins High is at 401 South Davis Drive. Tammy Fisher serves as drama teacher and director. For more information, call 478-929-7877, extension 51275, or e-mail tamara.fisher@hcbe.net.
