The City of Olney continues to work diligently to reclaim the unsightly properties around town that have long since given citizens a sore eye.

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

For the Olney High School One Act Play (OAP) competition this year, Olney chose the play, “Dark Road” written by Laura Lundgren Smith. Quoted from the playscript.com website, the play is about as follows, “ When Greta, a young girl living in Nazi Germany, reads that the nearby women’s concentration camp is hiring guards, she sees it as a chance to find her place in the world and provide for her sister Lise. But soon she learns the reality of her duties, and so too does she learn how to justify her crimes, heading further and further down the dark road laid by the Third Reich. Kind-hearted Lise is shocked at what her sister becomes, and though the two drift apart, their fates remain inextricably and dangerously linked. A powerful drama about the choices that allow evil to become ordinary.”
