"A Voice in the Dark: A Salem Story" is this spring's play put on by the Ada Drama Association at the high school auditorium. Curtain time is 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 15-17.

Told through the eyes of a teenager, the two-act play is a thrilling and poignant tale of one of the darkest eras in American history, the time of the witch trials in Salem, Mass., in the 1690s.

Peg Gordon, the director, called the 90-minute play "challenging" for the cast, which is composed of junior and senior high students. Amy Stover is assistant director.

The play was written by Elizabeth Downing.
