New Bell Schedule for GCHS starting March 23, 2023.
The Trial of the Wicked Witch is a play based on a combination of fairy tales. The Wicked Witch has been taken to court and placed on trial for supposedly casting a spell on Sleeping Beauty, attempting to poison Snow White, kidnapping Rapunzel, and trying to eat Hansel. The victims and Prince Charming testify against her, but the Evil Stepmother pokes holes throughout their testimonies. Witnesses for the Wicked Witch are the Gingerbread Man, Rumpelstiltskin, the ugly stepsisters, and the Big Bad Wolf. The Trial of the Wicked Witch is a fresh take on a law and justice story in the fairy tale imagination, where the audience decides the fate of the Wicked Witch. Will she be charged guilty or run free and continue her life in her fairy tale?
We look forward to seeing everyone at the High School on Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm. to support our students!
