Harmon productions set
"The Real Story of Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Ever After: A Musical" will be this year's Harmon School musical performed Feb. 7-8 in the high school auditorium.
"The Real Story of Little Red Riding Hood" gives a rare chance to hear the story from the wolf's point of view, proving there are two sides to every story.
"The Ever After: A Musical" is a parody of daytime television that tries to see if time really does heal all wounds. Cinderella and her stepsisters, along with Snow White and the Evil Queen, are reacquainted in the funny fractured fairy tale.
The curtain will rise at 7 p.m.

KSU signs an agreement
with area national park
Kent State University has signed a memorandum of understanding with he National Park Service providing for enhanced collaboration in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The agreement calls for collaborative projects and joint research primarily focused on geology, biology, hydrology and educational programs, according to Todd Diacon, KSU's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.
"There have been informal discussions between scientists at the park and Kent State faculty for a long time, but over the past two years we really started to strength the relationship and deepen the ties to the park," Diacon said.
The theme of the collaboration is "The River We Share," named because the Cuyahoga River flows through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Kent, creating a physical connection between the areas.
The new agreement will mean expanded internship opportunities for KSU students. Past collaborations between KSU and the CVNP have involved the Department of Biology, Wick Poetry Center and School of Lifespan Development and Educational Sciences.
