Trenton High School Music Theatre proudly presents their original musical "Into The Dark": a post apocalyptic zombie musical featuring the music of Michael Jackson. Our story takes place in a fictional modern day society where Billie Jean, a young teenager, lead the perfect life. She had a loving family, a supportive older sister and an adoring boyfriend. Tragedy strikes when a horrible accident leaves her in a coma, with no sign of recovery. She awakens three years later to find that everyone she once knew is dead, and the planet has been decimated by a zombie apocalypse. She is rescued by a group of survivors, but much has changed over the three years and moral boundaries have began to crumble. Billie Jean now struggles to understand what has happened, what her new place in the world is, and how to survive. The production will be showcased May 31^st, June 1^st and 2^nd at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased at the door or at the THS main office the weeks leading up to the show.  Click here to preview the audio trailer for 'Into The Dark'.

Clean out your closet and take any extra clothes to a local thrift store.  It is spring! And we all know what that means - spring cleaning. Let’s give all of the clothes that we do not need or use to a local thrift store or homeless shelter. This is a great opportunity to help others that may be in need. Sometimes things in life happen and we are in need of assistance. Let’s face it, many of us have more clothes then we know what to do with. So, if you have a few extra pieces that you haven’t looked at in a while, think about donating them!  Some of us have extra books and magazines. If you have ones that you are done with – donate them! Bring them to doctor’s offices, libraries or possibly a seniors home. Any extra items that you are done with or no longer need – donate! Have fun with the mission!!
