For Local High School Students and Their Parents

If you're a Kansas high school student attending a private or Christian school, and if you can get to Sterling College on April 11, there will be a treat in store for you.

I got an email recently from Dennis Dutton, a Sterling classmate of mine who is now Director of Admissions.  He was informing me about a C. S. Lewis day on campus on Friday, April  11.  Shortly after 9:00, one of the faculty members, Dr. Watney, who is a C. S. Lewis scholar, will give a lecture on Lewis.  The morning event culminates with a matinee performance of "The Great Divorce," one of Lewis' well-known works.  The matinee begins at 10:00.

Dennis writes this:  "The presentation on Lewis will begin about 9:15 and the show will start around 10:00 am and conclude well before noon."

To high school students and their teachers, the event is free, although registration is requested by April 7.

That evening and the following evening the theater department will present the full version of the play.  For the general public, admission will be charged for the evening performances.

Dr. Watney's composition class was one of the ones I visited when I was on campus for a half day in February.  He is a native of South Africa, and speaks the part.  I believe his lecture will be worthwhile.

The C. S. Lewis Day is one of several arts events Sterling presents to the community each year.  I hope many of my "friends and relations" will be able to attend.  I'll be glad to serve as a contact person if you have questions.

Mileage/time trivia from the internet:

From Pilgrim High to Sterling College:  27.2 miles/34 minutes

From our house to Sterling College:  21.1 miles/29 minutes

From our house to the Sports Arena, it's only about four miles closer and takes four minutes less travel time than to Sterling College.  If you live four miles north of us, there will likely be no difference.
