EVERSON/DEMING – The Nooksack Valley High School Drama Department is now presenting “Terror by Gaslight,” a play that takes place in early 19th century Philadelphia. Additional performances will take place  at the Nooksack Valley High School Performing Arts Center from Thursday through Sunday on Jan. 28-31. All performances start at 7 p.m., except for the Sunday matinee show at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the door at a cost of $6 per student and $7 per adult.
The plot involves Dr. Cyrus Norton, a brilliant but eccentric surgeon, who is creating an “anatomical museum” to further his standing as a recognized expert on anatomy and dissection. The problem is that he needs cadavers, and by law these can only be obtained from the public gallows, so he is forced to deal with the unsavory character Gin Hester and her sinister partner, Scrubbs. Other characters include a flirtatious parlor maid, a devious former medical student, a down-on-her-luck barmaid, and a contemporary of Dr. Norton’s.
