Hillsboro High School announces upcoming production

The HHS Theatre Department will be presenting "The Family Man," a comedy by Benjamin Bernard Zavin and Carl Leo, on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 at 7 p.m. in the high school cafetorium. Tickets are five dollars and can be purchased at the door.
Bill Cahill, a former athlete but accident-prone, breaks his leg sliding into third base while playing baseball with his children. Faced with a long convalescence, his wife, Ellen, valiantly goes back to work to support the family while Bill looks after the house. They do their work grudgingly, not realizing that they are both happier and more efficient in their new roles. Then Ellen, on a last-minute impulse, brings her boss home for dinner, sending Bill into a rage. Bill feels this imposition is the last straw, and their scheme of living, as well as their marriage, seems to be heading for the rocks. Things become even more uproariously complicated when it is discovered that Bill, using his wife’s name, has sent in one of his original cookie recipes and an essay on homemaking to a TV contest - and has been chosen to be the recipient of the Homemaker Award of the Year. The winner is to receive $50,000, plus additional sums for appearing on television - but the winner must be a woman.
The Family Man is directed by Jennifer Burgess. This will be the first theatrical production performed in the new high school.
