Center Stage Cast Announced

Kenston High School Center Stage announced the cast list for its fall production, “Acts of God.” The play tracks 12 high school students through the year following a devastating tornado strike.

The cast includes: Claire Abourjeily, Hannah Amick, Johnny Coming, Jacob Enders, Cassie Holub, Kris Kazimir, John Licata, Maggie Lowman, Will McKnight, Sarah Porter, Hannah Ramadan and Eric Ryan.

Mark the calendar for the fall performances on Nov. 15 and 16 at 7 p.m.
