Wakulla High's Dramatis Personae Presents "A Night of One-Act Plays"
Wakulla High’s Dramatis Personae recently held auditions for their Annual One -Act Plays. Each fall the drama department presents two one-act plays for students to participate in. One play is chosen to go to the District One Thespian Festival in January. The cast of this play must be comprised of students who are already members of Thespian Troupe #5036 or about to earn the points that will qualify them for membership.
The District Play for 2007 will be an original production “Divided We Fall ~ Together We Dance”. Seniors Michael Andrews, Michael Brown, James DeFoor, Ed Langston, Forrest Perry and Chelsea Schlegel, along with Juniors Chelli MacDonald, Trista Seres and Holly Thomas, and Sophomore Bailey Burgin will bring this modern day fable to life.
A woman, Estelle, arrives in a magical forest looking for her boyfriend, Jack. She is suddenly confronted with four female essential elements of life, Air, Earth, Fire and Water who know “everything”. After her initial skepticism she begins asking the age old questions about why men act and behave the way they do. Eventually Jack and the male elements of life show up, also wondering about why women behave and act the way they do. This sometimes comical and often very revealing play will delight, inspire, infuriate and eventually make you wonder why the world is the way it is. This beautiful dance of life will be choreographed and performed by the talented actors and actresses of Wakulla High.
The other production is the most produced one-act play in America, “This is a Test” by Stephen Gregg. This laugh-out-loud comedy is a perennial favorite with high school students everywhere. Senior Corey Hager plays the hapless and hopeless Alan Lefenfeld who has a major test that will determine the rest of his life, and he can’t remember anything. His nightmare scenario includes questions without answers or in Chinese, crazy cheating students, voices inside of his head, the most spaced out teacher imaginable and a cookie-baking mother who tells him not to worry.
This is the third time Wakulla High has performed this play in the last 19 years, and Ms. Solburg would like to invite all of the students who were cast in this hilarious play to join the current cast of WHS as our special guests. One former student, Ms. Shelby Williams, is now a teacher at WHS and she is starring as The Teacher, Miss Williams, in the play. You don’t want to miss this show!
Come on out and support these talented students on November 16th, 17th and 18th. The fun begins at 7:30 P.M. in the WHS Auditorium on Friday and Saturday evenings and at 2:30 P.M. on Sunday. Tickets will be sold at the door. The cost of admission is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students.
Special Note:Friday night (Nov. 16) of the play will also be the same night as one of the State Playoffs with Wakulla High's varsity football team, so parking may be an issue. That evening's production of the play can't be canceled because too many plans and work schedules have already been changed to accommodate out of town visitors coming to see the plays. The drama group would love all to come to the play, and then walk over to watch the rest of the game afterwards. This is just a "heads up" to come a little early if you plan to come to the Friday production for parking reasons, or wear comfortable walking shoes!
