S-E Drama Club presents series of plays
SHERBURNE – The Sherburne-Earlville Drama Club has been working hard on its upcoming production of one act plays. Encore: An Evening of One-Act Plays will be presented 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2 and 2 p.m. Sunday Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. at the High School auditorium.
For the past fifteen years, S-E Drama Club Advisor Colleen Law-Tefft has given the Middle and High School students the opportunity to produce and direct a theatrical production. Auditions are held early in the school year and regular rehearsals and set building starts shortly thereafter.
“This is the first year that I didn’t have a student come forward to act as director for the show, they all wanted to act, so I chose the plays, some of which may be repeats from other years,” noted Law-Tefft.
She added, “I tried to pick out plays that I felt were very strong and that would give the actors great stage experience.”
Law-Tefft went on to explain that the one-act plays in the fall are a good way to break in new participants and also serve as a training ground for future performances.
This year’s show features two acts, each comprising 5 short one-act plays, each running about 10 minutes in length. ‘Charm of the British,’ ‘Forty Minute Finish,’ ‘As You Like It,’ and ‘My Name is Leslie’ are a few of the plays that will be included in this year’s offering, one being an original play by local author Hugh Humphreys.
Humphreys, who is an artist and retired Madison County Judge, has written several theatrical historical presentations.
The evening includes both comedic and dramatic plays and gives many students excellent actor opportunities.
Student Keith Rose – a senior at S-E who plays a role in two of the acts of the production – stated, “I just find it intriguing, its definitely different than what we high school students would normally do ... it’s a lot of fun”
When S-E sophomore Olivia Clark was asked why she chooses to be involved in Drama Club, she replied, “Because for a couple of minutes I can go on stage and be whoever I want; I can play a character, someone other than myself and it’s fun.”
This production has 23 students on stage including: Kaylee Boice, Eleni Brantley, Olivia Clark, Lukas Fetzko, Maddy Fetzko, Gavin Giroux, Skyler Gold, Amanda Hodge, Molly Karaman, Ben Khoury, Tyler Manwaring, James Moren, Marie Moren, Danielle Purdy, Keith Rose, Dmitri Sofranko, Julian Sofranko, Rachel Taylor, Rebekah Taylor, Vincent Taylor, Alex Tefft, Anastasia Tenney and Kevin Vibbard.
Tickets are $5 and will be available at the S-E High School auditorium door the day of the show. All proceeds will be donated back into the school’s Drama Club for future performances.
