BCHS One Act had their first community performance of Something Rotten! Jr. Tuesday night.  It was a legitimate sellout.  Something Rotten is the story of two brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, played by Jed Ledbetter and Edwyn Wallace.  Set in the 1590's, Nick has to write a play or risk losing their home.  Nigel is a writer and helping Nicl.   Nick's chief rival is William Shakespeare, played by Anthony Rutledge.  Nick, after getting advice from a see played by Henli Jones, decides to write the first musical.  But of course, there are humorous complications.  What did the Seer really see?  Will Nick and Nigel make up after Nigel fell in love with Portia (Annabelle Land) daughter of the minister who wants to shut down any play?   Who is that guy who looks like Shakespeare with a beard as part of "Omelet: The Musical?"  Want to know what happens next?  There's another performance October 29 at 7:30 pm.  Region will be November 5 in Vidalia.  Donations of bottled water, breakfast items, and snacks are sought for the cast and crew.  If you'd like to donate, reach out to Carrie Gilbert or Dawson Greer at BCHS.

The Bleckley County Board of Education met in a brief regular session October 22.  The only thing voted on was the millage rate.  It was set to the rollback rate of 13.432. Since it wasn't an increase, no hearing were required.   According to minutes, the meeting was dismissed at 5:46 pm.
