This 1912 play once comforted children facing death. Now Utah students will perform a new adaptation.

Ash is dying. Confined to a tiny bedroom, the girl can only look at the world she would like to visit.

But through her window, she strikes up conversations with passing strangers — and her innocent optimism changes them each in some way.

Olympus High School student Alexis Bitner was surprised to learn she had been cast as Ash for Plan-B Theatre Company’s Aug. 24-26 presentation of “The Post Office.”

“I put my phone down and said, ‘Mom, Mom, I think I’m dreaming,’” Bitner recalled. “It’s just an honor that they felt like I was enough of a fit to embody the whole spirit of this character.
