Wheeling High's 'Fusion 14': Expect the unexpected

Wheeling High School's student-produced show, "Fusion 14: Noise Disturbance," will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 22-24 in the Robert E. Sang Theater of the high school, 900 S. Elmhurst Road.

The student-driven, interdisciplinary production is created, directed, designed, written and choreographed by students, representing a wide range of interests and backgrounds. The cast is kept on course by dance teacher Diane Rawlinson and creative writing teachers Christine Pacyk and Laura Wagner, who help the students organize their creative energy while allowing them to make artistic decisions. Student teacher Jen Foss was also an active part of this year's production.

Now in its 14th year, this year's Fusion theme is based on sounds. Unique portrayals of orchestras, traffic jams, poetry slams and scenes without dialogue are just some of the topics students have developed for the show.

Don't leave early: Audience members will enjoy the final twist to the show.

Tickets are $5 at the door. For details, call Christine Pacyk at (847) 718-7066.
