Cast of Game of Tiaras prepares for a bloody good time

Rebecca Rogers, Arts & Entertainment Editor|January 31, 2017

Are you a fan of the hit HBO show Game of Thrones? Do you have a favorite Disney Princess? Do you love all things Shakespeare? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then York Drama’s 10th Annual Winter Festival is for you! This Thursday, February 2nd, through Sunday, February 5th, head to the York Auditorium to see Don Zolidis’ Game of Tiaras, a hilariously tragic play that combines the story lines of Shakespeare’s King Lear, popular TV show Game of Thrones, and Walt Disney’s classic princesses like you’ve never seen them before. The shows are at 7:30 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 2:00 on Sunday. York students and staff get in free with ID. The York-hi went behind the scenes of this comedic bloodbath to give you a sneak peek into the preparations for opening night.
