Evening of One Act Plays Coming April 26-27

On Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27, Upper School Music and Drama will present a special Coffee House performance of three one-act plays.  The free show is titled "BEGINNINGS -- An evening of one-acts about getting things started."  Curtain time will be 7:30pm in the Dragon Room, and coffee and dessert will be served before and after the show.

The first play is "Inspiration" by Derek Dalke about a blocked writer who gets some unusual coaching from an unorthodox Muse.  Ari Patton-Scruggs is the Writer while Braxton Rickard plays the Muse.  The second play is "The Sure Thing" by Christopher Durang about Betty and Bill navigating the difficult waters of that first meeting.  Bill is played by Max Rickard and Braxton Rickard, while Betty is played by Stella Brown and Ari Patton-Scruggs.  The final play is "The Diary of Adam and Eve" by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick.  Based on a story by Mark Twain, this charming musical is about the first man, the first woman, a wiley snake, forbidden apples and moldy chestnuts.  Jaxon Spackman is Adam, Alex Gustafson is Eve, and Max Rickard plays the Snake.  Come enjoy an evening of BEGINNINGS!
