HCS Event: CHHS Drama Club - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: A Modern Day Prometheus
2025-10-24, 2025-10-25
Central Hardin High School Drama Club – Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: A Modern Day Prometheus
This adaptation, faithful to the novel, also frames the original horror story within Mary Shelley’s writing of it. The script includes references to relationships of some of the historical characters (Mary, Percy, Byron, Claire) that were certainly unconventional in their time and others (Victor, Elizabeth) that may seem strange in ours.
In addition to the violence inherent in the Creature’s journey, instances of mild innuendo and mature language are present.

Third Party Event: Baptist Health Hardin Community Health and Wellness Department: Overdose Simulation and Awareness
2025-11-05
Baptist Health Hardin Community Health and Wellness Department: Overdose Simulation and Awareness
This program will follow the same format as the simulation that was presented to more than 7,000 local high students last school year. Attendees will observe the severe stress of a mother finding her adolescent child after a drug overdose. Emergency Medical Service staff respond and present the child to healthcare providers at Baptist Health Hardin. Local Police officers simulate their role in supporting the mother in her distress. A panel of local professionals who work with overdose victims and families share statistics, overdose prevention, harm reduction, and other educational resources for families and community members. The panel information provided in this simulation will differ slightly from the panel provided to local high school teens, as this event is geared towards parental and community awareness.

North Hardin High School Choir – Elf the Musical Jr.
The North Hardin High School Choir presents Elf the Musical Jr. this November. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Third Party Event: St. James Catholic School - "Glory to God in the Lowest"
2025-12-10
St. James School – “Glory to God in the Lowest”
When angels appeared outside the town of Bethlehem proclaiming the greatest news the world had ever heard, they didn’t deliver their message to the “high and mighty,” but to the simple and lowly — shepherds! And, not just any shepherds, but easily-disregarded “night shepherds.” Little did they know that the promised king, the Messiah from the line of King David, was born that night, right there in Bethlehem, and would grow up to be both the Lamb of God, and the Good Shepherd! Glory to God In the Highest became Glory to God in the Lowest, too, as the very Son of God came to the world He created as a tiny baby in a lowly manger! Join St. James Catholic School’s 3rd and 4th grade students as the bring this fantastic musical to life!
