Write a commentIt’s show week for the Mexico High School Drama Club, which will put on “The Hope and Heartache Diner” on Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.
Written by Lindsay Price, The Hope and Heartache Diner showcases diners as a special place where one can get coffee, fall in love and find light when the world is dark. Duke’s is a family business, four generations strong, and Felix wants one last hurrah before college.
She’s doing a full run, open to close, just like her grandfather did as a teenager. But why? Everyone knows Felix can barely wipe tables. Why is she trying so hard to connect? And what happens when Felix’s parents announce they’re selling the diner?
The show will be held in Mexico High School’s Avery Skinner Auditorium on Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. with pre-sale tickets available from cast members for $5 or at the door for $7. The play is directed by MACS alumna and current MHS special education teacher Cassie Story.
