The Ottumwa High School Theatre Department presents The Internet is Distract–Oh Look A Kitten!

Micah only has twenty minutes to finish her paper on The Great Gatsby. She just needs to check a few facts on the internet first. Unfortunately, the web is a nefariously wacky place where boxing cats, Facebook lurkers, and pig-throwing games threaten to take over Micah’s schoolwork, or worse. Will she finish her paper and escape with her life before the school bell rings?

This family-friendly play is student-directed by Waverley Patton and directed by Jeff Leonard.

All tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door in the Ottumwa High School Auditorium.
7:00 PM Friday, November 13
7:00 PM Saturday, November 14

A special thank you to Mrs. Wetrich, Senior Assistant Director at the University of Iowa, for visiting with our students! Bulldogs at Evans Junior High School had the opportunity to learn more about what the Hawkeyes have to offer, including admission requirements, top academic programs, scholarships, athletics, and more. We appreciate her taking the time to help our students explore their options and plan for the future! 🐾🎉

Every child deserves to feel supported, safe, and reminded that they are not alone, especially during life’s hardest moments. Ottumwa Community School District’s Crisis and Grief Kits will provide our school counselors and support staff with meaningful resources to help students navigate grief, loss, and unexpected challenges. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference: having something to hold onto, a way to express feelings, or simply knowing someone is there to listen.

A very special thank you to Be The Light - Wapello County for believing in this project and making it possible. Your generosity is helping us put comfort, compassion, and support into the hands of the people who need it most. We are so grateful to have community partners who understand that showing up for our kids matters, especially when life gets hard. Thank you for helping us remind every child that they are seen, they are loved, and they are never alone.
