LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — Heart, humor and an important theme of change take center stage in a new production at Lima Senior High School.
Students from Lima Senior and Liberty Arts Magnet are performing the play “One Stoplight Town,” a story centered on residents of a small town adjusting to life after getting a stoplight. The production highlights everyday moments that shape each character as they learn that change comes for everyone.
Students involved in the production say the experience has brought a wide range of classmates together, both on and off the stage.
“It’s very student led. There’s a lot of students doing the lights and stuff. It’s very involved. You get a lot of people involved. You have people who aren’t even into theater coming to support their friends. It’s just great. Our students design the sets. It just really brings everybody in the school together, and we make some art out of it,” says Paige Sullivan, plays “Trish” One Stoplight Town.

School leaders say the collaboration and enthusiasm from students has been evident throughout the process.
“It’s cool. They’ve had a great experience working with each other on stage and learning different things throughout the process, and they’re really excited to perform it for an audience. They’re definitely ready for an audience. They should definitely come out and support the arts, because Lima senior and Lima City Schools supports the arts, and we love to support our kids,” says Kristin Lee, Director Arts and Magnet Programs.
