  On the weekend of March 17th, the Port Huron Northern Drama Club presented their spring musical, Singin’ In The Rain.

  Singing in the Rain is a humorous show about a young T.V. actor named Don Lockwood and his ventures in the movie-making business, as movies transition from silent films to talking pictures. In the midst of his efforts, he falls in love with an aspiring actress, Kathy Selden.

  However, this threatens Lockwood’s career due to his existent fake relationship with his current co-star for publicity. This love story kept the audience on the edge of their seats, and appealed to all ages.

     With hours and hours a week being dedicated to practice, the director, Mrs. Renee Barr, works tirelessly to address any questions and concerns.

  Mrs. Barr has 35 years of theater experience, and this is her 9th year directing the PHN drama club.

“My favorite part of directing is that I get to do a little of everything, ” Mrs. Barr said, “I love the idea of being involved in all aspects of the theater.”

  She is adored by the students of the drama club. “Working with Mrs. Barr is a dream come true, she is an absolute angel.” said Gillian Bolt (‘16), the actress who plays the main antagonist of the musical.

  PHN drama club is a tight-knit community and has a high reputation for putting on extremely professional shows. Most of the actors have incredible theater experience.

      Brady Esterline (‘16), who acts as Don Lockwood, has been in theater for 10 years. Elizabeth Dewey (‘19), who acts as Kathy Seldon, has been involved with theatre in the local Civic Theater, school shows, and has a youtube channel dedicated to her singing.

     The showtimes were Thursday March 17th, 11:00am and 7:00pm, Friday March 18th, 9:00am and 7:00pm, Saturday March 19th, 2:00pm and 7:00pm, and Sunday March 20th, 2:00pm. Ticket prices were $8 for students and seniors, and $10 for adults
