If you like stories with a surprise ending you'll love this weekend's Bluffton High School drama production of a collection of stories from O. Henry.

Titled "Jookalorum!", performances aew Friday Nov. 15, and Saturday, Nov. 16, in the middle school cafetorium. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and curtain at 7:30 p.m.  

What's it all about?
Jookalorum! – When O. Henry coined this term-meaning something special or spectacular — he probably never imagined it would be the perfect word to describe his stories and unique style of humor.  

The production takes the audience into the world of O. Henry through this entertaining collection of nine short stories artfully adapted for the stage. 

Three amusing narrators take the audience through the stories as they lounge on lawn chairs by a pool on a lazy summer afternoon. 

Stories include ’The Last Leaf,’ ’The Ransom of Mack,’ and ’The Pimienta Pancakes.’   

"Both audience and actors alike will love O. Henry’s characteristic quick wit and surprise endings accompanied by a host of colorful characters in each story," said Kevin Gratz, director.

Assistant directors are Kaitlynn Rieman, Raina Runk and Ana Neufeld Weaver.

General admission tickets are available at the door. Adults $3 and students $1.
