There are two many… no, that’s not right. There are to many…drat &%$#. Try again. There are too many words in the English language. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Now, I suppose it would have been more emphatic had I adjectivized and written, “There are massively, abundantly, mammothly, immensely, capaciously, colossally, enormously, gigantically, copiously, titanically, humongously too many words in the English language.

The Morgan County High School Drama Dogs performed a “tale as old as time” in the high school’s auditorium Thursday, Jan. 30, through Sunday, Feb. 2. High schoolers, parents, teachers and others in the Morgan County community filled the auditorium and sold out the shows to see local drama students perform the Broadway musical edition of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” The drama students performed the songs familiar to everyone who grew up watching the Disney classic. Performers ran through the aisles of the auditorium to escape the castle’s helpers after trying to kill the Beast, and the show featured a flashing strobe light sequence during the Beast’s transformation into a human. At the end of the production, chorus and theater teacher Lenae Rose honored the graduating senior drama students fittingly with a red rose.
