2023-24 Past ShowsThe Princess Bride
(Spring Play) Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles… Directed By: Arika Nabutovsky "It's The Thoughts That Count" - Dracula (State-wide theater competition) Did you ever have one of those days, when nothing goes your way? And you feel swamped by your own insecurities? And you end up in Dracula's castle to sort it out? That's the predicament for Andrew, the teen age protagonist of our production of "It's The Thoughts That Count" - Dracula. Directed By: Mark VanDerzee and Mary Mastandrea Written By: The Cast and Crew Chicago! Are you ready to be razzle dazzled? Step into the allure of 1920s Chicago – a city pulsating with jazz, glamor, and a touch of scandal. See what happens when crime, passion, and dance collide. This Jazz Age musical revolves around two rivals, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, both accused of murder and vying for the spotlight. With the help of the slick and flashy lawyer Billy Flynn, they twist their trials into a spectacle of sensationalized lies and dramatic turns. As the story unfolds, watch the lines between innocence and guilt blur, as their quest for fame takes center stage. Directed By: Elena Maimonis The Burning Light Michelle is a lesbian. But growing up in 1989, being gay isn’t an option, for the people around her or herself. After getting sent to a conversion camp she goes on a story of trying to get God and herself to forgive her sins. She needs to learn from others, unearth old family secrets, and discover who she is on the inside. This show asks the questions “Can you be forgiven?” and “Should you be forgiven?” Directed By: Ian Hansen and Joshua Chan A Samhain Night's Dream A Midsummer Night's Dream is a story set on Litha, or Summer Solstice. During the Wheel of the Year, it's believed to be a time when the veils between the human world and the faerie world thin: magic is at its strength and faeries have the most power to touch the mortal world. The BHS Drama Society production of this play just happens to go up on November 1, a date which feels, aesthetically, very far from the green leaves and flowers associated with Summer Solstice... but it turns out that Midsummer isn't the only night each year when the veils between the real world and the otherworld become periolously thin... Directed By: Arika Nabutovsky The Rehearsal
This is a play about a high school putting on a musical (but it’s not High School Musical). A hilarious look behind the scenes of a drama club production filled with- what else?- lots of drama. A stage manager on a power trip, jealousy about who gets the lead, not enough boys to fill the male roles, getting friend zoned, and breaking a leg… literally. This show contains various dynamic characters, lots and lots of comedy, and perhaps a dance number or two! Directed By: Elena Maimonis |
