Gold-tinted high jinks

We’ve all heard about the prince who is cursed to be a frog, but what about a frog who is turned into a prince?

Even more high jinks follow the characters of “The Golden Grotto,” presented by Pacelli Middle School at 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday. The play involves fantastic characters — from a princess and her handmaidens desperate to recover their treasure to an angry king with a bumbling court wizard whose magic only adds to the confusion.

The play will take place inside Pacelli Auditorium. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens and $15 for families.
