BHS Presents The Children's Hour
BHS Presents The Children's Hour at 7pm on Friday, April 28 & Saturday, April 29
Tickets are $5 at the door (cash or check only)
The Children's Hour is a serious adult drama about two women who run a school for girls. After a malicious youngster starts a rumor about the two women, the rumor soon turns to scandal. As the young girl comes to understand the power she wields, she sticks by her story, which precipitates tragedy for the women. It is later discovered that the gossip was pure invention, but it is too late. Irreparable damage has been done.
**This production may not be suitable for children or individuals sensitive to certain themes, as it contains depictions of bullying, violence, homophobia, intolerance and suicide.
Talkbacks following the performance with students, Counseling staff and local mental health professionals discussing the shows mature themes.

Brighton/Israeli Exchange
Brighton High School is once again excited to participate in the BHS-Israeli Exchange. Even though the program is jointly sponsored by the Brighton Central School District and the Jewish Federation of Rochester, this is intended to be a strictly cultural and non-religious exchange. As such, any BHS student can participate.
We are offering the opportunity to all BHS students to participate as either a host family and/or as part of a BHS-chaperoned student exchange trip to Israel. The Israeli students from our sister city Modi’in will be visiting us September 26, 2023 to October 8, 2023*. Our trip to Israel will take place during our 2024 February break. If you are interested in learning more about hosting and/or traveling please contact:
