Friday, March 13, 2026

A new play written by Mr. John Marsh and his wife Jenni, The West Wind, is being produced for the first time at the Muncie Civic Theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh are directing it as well. Recent Academy grad, Lily Ellis, created some artwork for the program, and current Academy student Maria Munoz Rossello made some props.

The play is a comedy set on a transcontinental train trip from Chicago to San Francisco in 1908. Some of the characters are dealing with the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake 2 years earlier.

The show runs over 2 weekends beginning Friday, March 20, and running through Sunday, March 29. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 3:00 p.m.

Student tickets are $15, and may be purchased online here: www.munciecivic.org/2025-2026/the-west-wind. Hope to see you there!
