HS Drama takes on Grimm

The Hot Springs County High School Drama Club will be presenting the hilarious “Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” as their spring production.

Written by Dan Zolidis, the show features two narrators and a group of actors attempting to present all 209 Grimm Brothers tales as they were originally meant to be – as one long story.

Buckle up for a hilarious ride through well-known stories such as “Snow White” and “Hansel and Gretel”, and lesser-known stories like “The Devil’s Grandmother” and “Girl Without Hands.”

“The students have put their all into this production,” Drama Club coach Mary McGillivray said. “This show requires many of the students to portray multiple characters. This is a challenging skill because each character needs to have their own mannerisms and style of speaking.

“The Drama Club students have worked really hard on this, creating background information and analysis sheets on each of their characters and doing extensive research for each style.

“They are amazing and will astound you with their hard work and skills!”

Cast and crew for the spring production include: Chauncey Morris, Tyler Kay, Breeze Petty, Katie Burrows, Danielle Randolph, Krynn McGinty, Aaron Hanson, Ashley Brawley, Ryan Slagle, Aime Robinson, Naomi Bishop, Mikayla Lanik, Hunter Kessler, Deanna Owings, Emily Anderson, Ben Manning, Storymy Cox, Hannah Hu, Larissa Peters, Darian Macie, Savana Meier, Allie Burton and Dakota Prosser.

The show will be three nights, April 25, 27 and 28 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. The show does contain some mild adult language and situations. The performances are free, however, donations are accepted and much appreciated at the door.

The donations help with student costumes, props and set pieces for their performances and contribute to the State Drama Competition in the winter.
