With a cast, crew and artistic team of more than 50 students, the Mountlake Terrace High School Drama Department will present four performances of “Sympathy Jones,” a secret agent musical, starting on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Performances are scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday, Jan. 15-18, beginning at 7 p.m. in the MTHS Theater, 21801-44th Ave. W. General admission tickets are $10, with children 13 and younger, senior citizens and students with current ASB cards admitted for $8. Tickets will be available at the door.

Sympathy Jones is the story of a young woman in the 1960s dreaming of a move from the reception desk of an intelligence agency to the world of spy work. Junior Cassie Stires plays the role of Sympathy Jones in the MTHS production of the musical.

With 22 songs and numerous energetic dance routines, the spirited show will likely be one of the high points for the school’s drama department this year.
