Brighton High School proudly presents “The Language Archive” by Julia Cho at 7 p.m. Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 in the BHS Auditorium. Tickets are $5 at the door.

The story is about George, a man consumed with preserving and documenting the dying languages of far-flung cultures. Closer to home, though, language is failing him. He doesn’t know what to say to his wife, Mary, to keep her from leaving him, and he doesn’t recognize the deep feelings that his lab assistant, Emma, has for him.

The cast includes: Henry Ager as George, Soph Miller as Mary, Adia Shetler as Emma, Nathan Gessesse as Resten, Casey Howe as Alta, Ana Bansal as The Driver/Understudy Mary/Passerby 2/Old Man Baker, Haydie Po as Language Instructor/Understudy Alta, Taylor Howe as Conductor/Passerby 1/Understudy Emma, and Daniel Gasparino as Old Man Zamenhof/Understudy George.
