Carlton spring play opens Saturday

Carlton High School thespians will perform "Epic Fail" by Bradley Hayward at 2 and 6 p.m. Saturday, April 15 at the Encore Performing Arts Center in Cloquet.

As the play is described: "Teenagers are faced with failure every day. Some mornings it feels like they have the letter 'F' stamped on their foreheads in bright red ink. In a series of hilarious vignettes, students take on a multitude of challenges, each from a different perspective. From learning to driving a car (seemingly with a mind of its own) to having an argument with a bag of chips in a vending machine, these teenagers discover that the only way to succeed is to stare failure in the face. And if they're going to take that risk, they might as well make it epic."

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Purchase at the door, online at countyseattheater.com or by calling 878-0071.
