AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It has been a rough semester for my son. Blood stings his eyes, and it is hard to get the black stuff out of his teeth. But he endures the discomfort, the long rehearsals and being thrown about onstage because he knows he is telling an important story.

'Cyrus is in Carnegie Vanguard High School's production of Holy Day by Andrew Bovell, a theater piece set in the ruthless 19th-century Australian outback. The play is psychologically intense, an exploration of subjects such as violence, sex and race.'
