Greentree School students are hitting the road later this month.
The student drama troupe is getting ready to perform Blue Horses a play by Kathryn Schultz Miller. They will be performing 12 shows across Golden Hills School Division.
“I sent out a letter to other school administrators to see if there was any interest,” said Greentree School principal Chris Connell. “I was a little overwhelmed by the response we got.”

The play follows four kids on a summer evening who don’t want to head home. One invents a game of “Wish Upon a Star,” which has each friend tell a story. The three other friends then take roles in that story. In the end, each person’s story helps them through growing up, confidence, and making friends.
Greentree students Tori Bagwell, Erin Bertsch, Jade Coleman, Casey Hartman, Taylor Plante, and Mikayla Smith are starring in the play and have been rehearsing since January.
This is the second year in a row Greentree School has produced a play. Last year, students performed Puss in Boots.
The show is scheduled to start its run at Greentree School on May 17.
