"A Voice in the Dark: A Salem Story" is this spring's play put on by the Ada Drama Association at the high school auditorium. Curtain time is 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 15-17.

Peg Gordon, the director, called the 90-minute play "challenging" for the cast, which is composed of junior and senior high students. Amy Stover is assistant director.

The play was written by Elizabeth Downing.
