Chili and theater performances are in order during March at Warren Township High School. 

On March 17 and 18, Warren theater members will be performing the spring Contest Play The Women of Lockerbie , which takes place seven years after the attack on Pan Am Flight 103.

Only on March 18, community members will be participating in a chili cook-off sponsored by the Warren Drama Boosters. Chili will be served from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the cafeteria at the O’Plaine Campus, 500 N. O’Plaine Road, Gurnee, as a fund-raiser for a new light board. A suggested donation is $8 to eat chili and vote for the best one.

Tickets to the play in the auditorium are $2 for students with an ID and $3 for general admission. The performance is about a mother from New Jersey who roams the hills of Lockerbie, Scotland looking for her son’s remains and she meets the women of Lockerbie who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of victims found in the plane’s wreckage. The women, determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victim’s families. The Women of Lockerbie is loosely inspired by a true story, although the characters and situations in the play are purely fictional. Written in the structure of a Greek tragedy, it is a poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate.

Play cast members are: Brittany Coriaci, Elyse Weinberg, Kyle McClevey, Aaron Hoffman, Lily Zhu, Skylar Reinhard, and Lizzie Blasko. Crew members are: Maggie Hansen, Scott Olson, Alli Alleman, Bobby Becker, Brad Altman, Zoe Heinz, Katie Schuette, Khloe Albeck, Leira Perez, Melissa Noe, Annie Anderson, Taylor Pfenning, Adam Germann, Chris Pennell, Kurt Globerger, and Ashley Fornelli.

Contest Play is an IHSA-sanctioned competitive event. Warren will be competing March 20 in the sectional competition at Fremd High School in Palatine.
