Neenah High School will host four shows of its spring play, Kodachrome by Adam Szymkowicz, April 25-28 in the high school's black box theater. Shows are April 25-27 at 7 p.m. and April 28 at 2 p.m. The play welcomes audiences to Colchester, a small town where everyone knows each other and the pace of life allows the pursuit of love to take up as much space as it needs. Our tour guide is Suzanne, the town photographer, who lets us peek into her neighbors' lives to catch glimpses of romances in all stages of development. It is a play about love, nostalgia, the seasons and how we learn to say goodbye. Tickets are available at rocketplayers.com. Seating is limited, so it is encouraged to purchase tickets ahead of time. Kodachrome is presented by arrangement with Concord theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordthatricals.com. (Photo credit: McKenzie Images)
