You might not have heard of the plays that are being performed by South Rowan High School's Young Order of Dramatic Actors — "Scooter Thomas Makes it to the Top of the World" and "The Most Massive Woman Wins."

But if you attend them, you'll realize that high school actors can take on some thought-provoking material, and handle it quite well.

"These students have done an incredible job with tackling very heavy issues," says drama teacher Sarah Drinkard, who directed the plays.

"Both shows are almost absurd in some of their techniques, and yet both shows reveal some real truth."

"Scooter Thomas Makes it to the Top of the World," written by Peter Parnell, will make you remember what it's like to lose a best friend from childhood. The play features Christian Dionne and Kristian Doty.

"The Most Massive Woman Wins" by Madeline George, is set in the waiting room of a liposuction clinic. It's a play about self-image, an exploration of how women think about their bodies. The play features Haley Haithcock, Annalise Padgett, Abby Bullard and Hannah Roseman.

The plays are being performed at 7 p.m. tonight, Friday and Saturday in the Florence Busby Corriher Theater on the campus of Catawba College. The site is a black-box experimental theater behind the college community center.

Admission is $6.

Others involved in the production are C.J. Catanese, William Randall, Christian Barringer, Jeremy Proctor, Erin Bassinger, Quinn Roth, Bethany Bradshow, John Everwine, Jennifer Johnson, Samantha Sain, Daniel Hubbard, Tess Shoe, Heaven Bare, and Lauren Brown.

Note: These plays are rated PG-13, for mature language and themes.
