"Of Mice and Men" Comes to Eagan High School

The staged adaptation of classic American novel "Of Mice and Men" will hit the Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Feb. 9.

The free one-act production, directed by Nancy Owzarek, will be performed by Eagan High School students who are participating in the state One-Act Festival in St. Paul. The play follows the story of two drifters, George Milton and Lennie Small, in southern California during the 1930’s depression, according to Owzarek. Lennie is a huge man, unaware of her own strength due to a mental disablilty. George is his caretaker and companion.

Eagan student Brennan Spicer plays George Milton, while Dan Britt takes on the role of Lennie Small.

The state one-act festival is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 10 at the College of St. Catherine's in St. Paul.
