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'.

 We all know how much easier it is to do something when we have someone who supports us. When you offer encouragement you are giving hope and/or support to each other.   Encouragement builds confidence. It gives us the mind-set that we are able to not only go after, but obtain the things we want and strive for.
 
This week encourage each other to get involved and do something you have always wanted to do.  Whether it is encouraging someone by attending their game/recital, or calling someone to wish them luck on a presentation or test; be sure to encourage.
 
Just a reminder that all the encouragement for this mission needs to remain positive. Celebrate the Hero is all about creating an environment that is conducive to all. We encourage you to go out this week and say give support to someone. We know you can do it! We believe in you!
