It is a play still running on Broadway and in London and now students are taking the stage at Riverton High School to perform “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” the teen edition. The story shows Harry Potter today, as a husband and father of three school-age children. In the play, Harry’s youngest son Albus grapples with the weight of the family legacy he never asked for and Lord Voldermort appears in the play as well.
Theater teacher Clin Eaton is the driving force behind this amazing production. He says they had a professional magician consulting on some of the effects, a makeup artist who did the “Phantom of the Opera” makeup in the Las Vegas show, and the flying company ZFX from Cirque du Soleil, to install and train the Riverton High flight crew on flying stunts during the musical. Mr. Eaton says this is the largest play ever performed at Riverton High.
