They also observed rehearsals and provided feedback on script writing, story points, dialogue, and the timing of sound effects and music cues.        “It’s been a wonderful collaborative experience working on this project together with Monica and the students,” said Cain. “This is a production that will chill you to the bone. We’re inviting young and old to join us for this special Halloween treat.”       Cain said a number of local businesses have underwritten costs for the production, including Innovative Audio, Cream of the Crop, Winner’s Car Care, Brady’s Restaurant, Tipper’s Seafood and Po Boys, Brown’s Downtown Car Care, Class Works, Coop DeVille, and Baskin Robbins.        Support is also provided by several Hammond High School organizations including the Torettes, Key Club, Beta Club, True Business Leaders of America, Student Council, Hammond Height, Spanish Club, and the Hammond High School Art Department. Individual support is being provided by Mildred Johnson, Pat Bender, and Rachel Robbins.        For additional information, contact KSLU at 985-549-2330. Return to News Releases
