Congratulations, and we can't wait to see what the Spartans do in 2025-2026.

BHS Fall Play Closes This Weekend

BHS Theater presents It's a Wonderful Life on November 21-22.

In our American culture It’s a Wonderful Life is a natural for a stage adaptation. In our telling of the saga of George Bailey, he is the everyman from the city of Seattle, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty amidst the background of the Boeing Bust (1969-1971). His guardian angel (in the form of a clairvoyant fortune teller) has to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. This dramatization celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one's family and community will be rewarded.

Tickets are on sale now for the remaining two evening performances and one matinee. You don't want to miss this great show!
