Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, adapted for the stage by Robert Johanson, will be the opening show of the 2010-11 school year. The show will be performed September 30 and October 1-3, 2010, in the Temple High School Auditorium. Auditions were held June 1 and 2.

In the burned-out ruins of Thornfield Hall, the adult Jane Eyre recalls the disturbing events of her childhood and young adulthood: her miserable upbringing as as orphan thrust upon unsympathetic relatives, her trials at the infamous Lowood School, and eventually her acceptance as governess at Thornfield Hall, where she encounters its enigmatic master, Edward Rochester. Jane eventually unravels the secrets of this mysterious place and finds her own personal epiphany through honesty, courage and sacrifice. A moving story for all times and a stunning portrayal of one of the world's greatest heroines.
