There is a matinee on November 15 at 2:30. All performances are at the Gilbert City Auditorium, located at 17 Broadway in Gilbert. Set in the late Jazz Era, “Private Lives,” directed by Mary Lou Conaway, explores the thin line between love and hate with situational comedy that is so audacious, it borders on the theater of the absurd. Newlyweds Sibyl (Cassie Liubakka) and Elyot Chase (James Conger) arrive at a quaint hotel in France. Worlds collide, however, when Elyot’s former wife Amanda (Chelsea Trucano) and her new husband Victor Prynne (Ethan Allen) honeymoon in the room next door. Elyot and Amanda’s unresolved relationship sets the stage for the drama and comedy that unfolds. The cast is rounded out with Tavia Melhus playing Louise, the French maid. “Private Lives” has remained relevant in the theatrical sphere because of Coward’s sharp writing and the timeless themes the play explores.

Crotteau, Murfin to make state cross country debut for Wolverines

VIRGINIA—Two Rock Ridge sophomores are set to make their state cross country debut today at the Class AA State Championships held at the Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake. On the boys side, Bryce Crotteau will represent the Wolverines after taking seventh at sections and claiming the third individual qualifying spot. For the girls, Mylah Murfin earned a state berth, taking ninth and claiming the sixth and final individual qualifying spot. For Crotteau, earning a trip to state was a bit of a shock for the sophomore considering where he was coming into the season. “I didn’t have as much training as I wanted,” Crotteau said. “I didn’t have a good plan this summer and really the first few meets of the season didn’t go well at all.” Eventually, Crotteau managed to turn things on and found a path that would lead him to state. “I started following a plan and I guess it worked. My race strategy changed a bit. You see the same people at most meets so I started chasing one person. Then I’d pass them and then find another person to chase. Keep doing that and eventually you’re making it to state.” Wolverines coach Chris
