By JULES ACUNA

Citrus Valley High School’s very own Blackhawks set out on the stage to present their first fall performance of the year, for only 3 days in September, from 5-6 p.m. The play, accompanied by Citrus Valley’s choir director Kimberly Anaya, was scripted by Mo Williams, with music composed by Deborah Wicks La Puma. The Citrus Valley cast had an amazing performance performed by Vallerie Morris as Piggie and Aden Sam as Elephant.

In the play, Elephant and Piggie go on multiple adventures together that test the close relationship between the two; they go to a party, wait for ice cream, and play ball, yet nothing can break the two’s friendship.   (JULES ACUNA/ Ethic News photo)

The performance of  “Elephant and Piggie’s ‘We Are In A Play!’” is about an hour and a half, full of music and dancing, that concludes with a twist that includes a dance number with audience interactions.  (JULES ACUNA/ Ethic News photo)

The Blackhawk Theatre Company had many in attendance each of the three nights of the performance. After the performance and applause, all of the cast members joined the stage and encouraged pictures with the cast, where two large lines formed of kids eager to take photos with characters from the play.
