Advance performance of "Bright Star" shown

A red carpet welcome awaited anyone walking into Green River High School Monday evening.

The high school's theater department hosted a special advance performance of "Bright Star" which will have its public premiere Thursday. This show was specially geared to residents in the county with mental disabilities. Green River High School theater director Bradlee Skinner said his students realized people with those disabilities often did not come to the theater productions.

"They were a group not represented well," Skinner said. "We just want them to enjoy the theater."
