As I sat in the darkened theater Tuesday night, every once in a while I’d hear the clang of a hammer or the whirl of a drill. Momentarily, I marveled at the realistic sound effects, but soon realized they were ill-placed in the scene. The show, indeed, must go on – even in the middle of a school construction project.

That’s just what the kids in the Sherburne-Earlville Drama Club are doing – acting their way through a chaotic construction scene as the school around them undergoes renovations. Usually, the S-E troupe presents their evening of one-act plays in the first part of November, but director Colleen Law-Tefft explained to me Tuesday night that the show was postponed due to the ongoing building project – which still isn’t done. Nevertheless, intrepid thespians that they are, the drama club participants soldiered on, acting their hearts out as the school around them reinvents itself (the lobby area outside the Marauder auditorium looks like it’s going to be pretty cool, on a side note).
