Riverton High Students Take Stage in Teen Edition of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”

Posted on

It is a play still running on Broadway and in London and now students are taking the stage at Riverton High School to perform “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” the teen edition. The story shows Harry Potter today, as a husband and father of three school-age children. In the play, Harry’s youngest son Albus grapples with the weight of the family legacy he never asked for and Lord Voldermort appears in the play as well.

Theater teacher Clin Eaton is the driving force behind this amazing production. He says they had a professional magician consulting on some of the effects, a makeup artist who did the “Phantom of the Opera” makeup in the Las Vegas show, and the flying company ZFX from Cirque du Soleil, to install and train the Riverton High flight crew on flying stunts during the musical. Mr. Eaton says this is the largest play ever performed at Riverton High.

Tickets are available at the door or in the Main Office for the show which runs on the dates and times below:

  • Friday, February 21, 7 p.m.
  • Saturday, February 22, 2 p.m. & 7 p.m.
  • Monday, February 24, 7 p.m.

Bingham High Recognition Assembly is Fun Way to Focus on Student Success

Posted on

It was a great day to be a Miner as students took center stage, being recognized for their success in and outside the classroom. A recognition assembly honored student achievement on sports teams, in clubs, and in academics. But it was members of Unified Sports who stole the show on the hardwood during the assembly. The Unified Sports basketball team took on the boys and girls basketball teams, with the Unified Team taking home a 28-6 victory cheered on by a raucous and supportive student body in “The Pit” at Bingham High.

The Bingham High Unified Sports team now looks to ride the momentum of their big win into the next competition at the Metro Region basketball tournament taking place at the University of Utah in mid-March.

Congrats to the Miners for showing their commitment to ensuring students of all abilities feel accepted and included in activities and opportunities at Bingham High School.
