At 7 p.m. Nov. 6, Whitehall High School Theater Club members will present their first virtual production. “Game of Tiaras” is a one-act play written by Don Zolidis.
“Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of ‘Game of Thrones’ and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of ‘King Lear’ will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die.”
This 40-minute production will be prerecorded and presented virtually. When a ticket purchase is made at showtix4u.com/events/whitehalltheater, purchasers will receive instructions and a streaming code. On Nov. 6, return to the showtix4u website and enter your code to stream the play on a single device. The stream opens 6 p.m., and the performance begins 7 p.m.
