PHOTOS: Medfield Students Shine in Production of 'Gold in the Bones'

It's no surprise the Medfield High School Theatre Society's production of "Gold in the Bones" this past weekend was widely successful.

The 60 to 70 students that make up the high school's theatre society are talented and they collectively showcased their talents with two shows of Washington Irving's collection of haunted pirate tales adapted by Eric Coble.

The surprise snowstorm Saturday could not keep theatergoers from piling into their seats inside the Lowell Mason Auditorium and watch these Medfield High School students shine on stage.

The three haunted pirate tales could not have been performed with such great success without the efforts of the following people:

• Mary Ann Hatem, director
