Students Perform Spring Play

As the year is going to an end, the students who participated in the annual spring play, hit the stage on April 9 and 10. The play was originally scheduled for the week before, but the date was finally changed and actors were ready to show all their capabilities, and they all looked good up on stage.

In Attack of the Zombies,  three teenagers live in an abandoned farm that apparently was once the lab of a mad doctor who killed people and transformed them in zombies. At the same time, four seniors choose the old farm as a setting for their zombies party until they finally discover that the farm wasn’t what they expected and all of them are transformed in zombies.

Junior Zach Shoemaker, an actor in the play, shared some acting secrets with us. Zach said that actors usually practice frequently, especially during the last period when they had three rehearsals a week. Usually actors practice a lot at home.

“If you are going to remember your lines for the show it is crucial that you spend a lot of time practicing”, Zach said.

A common fear of people who are on stage is forgetting the lines and messing up the rest of the cast members, but the actors in the spring play did an awesome job The play looked very good.

Before a sport competition or a performance many people have their “good luck” that can vary from an action to wearing something special that they think can help them. Zach shared his good luck secret with us.

“Before a show I usually clear my mind and step into my character’s shoes and I tell myself that I must remain my character until the production is over,” he added

The cast members did a really great job and students enjoyed the play.

Junior Holly Swearingen said, “I thought the play was really entertaining. Austin McNorton and Carlos Rodriguez put a huge laugh into the audience. It was a typical high school setting with a zombie twist, which made it easy to relate to. I would definitely go and see it again.”

Zach said that he was happy the play was a success and was happy they were able to entertain the audience.
