‘The Epic Quest of the Damsels in Distress” will be presented by students at the Henniker Community School on Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Cafetorium. Tickets are by donation.

The production is a fairy tale that follows four “damsels” on an unexpected adventure. It’s hard being a girl, especially in a fairy-tale land where everyone expects you to be a damsel in distress. These four young ladies are just not having it! Seeking excitement, the foursome journey on a comical adventure as they prove they can ably find their way through the world, strong and independent. Along the way, they encounter angry villagers, arrogant princes, mischievous nymphs, and even a dragon.
