    The cast of 'Avalanche' on the stage at Tilford, where they will perform Friday and Sunday.

"Avalance," the story of spies on a train in the early years of the Cold War, takes to the stage as the members of the Vinton-Shelllsburg Home School Assistance Program perform their annual play this weekend. 

Performance times are 7 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Sunday at the Tilford Auditorium. Admission is $1.

In the play, spies from the U.S. and U.S.S.R. find themselves on a train in a fictional European country, looking for a mysterious passenger.
