A Glenbrook North student competed at The National High School Musical Theater Awards in New York City last week.
If you’ve attended any Glenbrook North theater productions over the last few years, you may already be aware of Nathan Salstone.

Students put on traditional staging of Romeo & Juliet.
This weekend at Glenbrook North, students will put on a classical staging of the iconic play Romeo and Juliet, complete with swords and tights.

If it's a play you're watching, isn't nothing real? Confused yet? Well, don't expect any quick answers, if you're interested in seeing Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, which runs until Nov. 20 at Writers' Theatre in Glencoe. You may feel a little misguided and a bit apprehensive (as I did) within the first scene—but for good reason. Heartbreak on stage can have those effects. More in theater: Glencoe Troupe to Raise Curtain on 20th Season After nearly 30 years on the theater circuit, the play—which stars seasoned actor Sean Fortunato, as Henry, and Carrie Coon, as Annie, who, of …
