Auditions for the School Play

By Sara Prygocki, staff reporter

Auditions for the school play, "Rumors" by Neil Simon, had a very successful turnout. For a cast of eleven, nearly thirty confident students showed up for the event. After the greeting, she chose excerpts of the script and divvied the roles between the actors.

Following the usual routine, the hopefuls assembled into a theatre circle while the stage director Mrs. Botsford gave a short summary of each of the characters, and an overall gloss over of the play.

Although there were some ‘old faces’ in regards to theatre auditioning, incoming freshman and once-shy upperclassmen decided to participate.

"Rumors" was rumored to have been the hardest play to cast. After a tiring night of finalizing her decisions, Mrs. Botsford chose freshmen Connor Antonellis and Emma Brimdyr, returning sophomore Meredith Sullivan, new sophomore Czarina Shartle, juniors Aidan Milsted, Curran Olson, Mike Moen, Mary Pawlusiak, and seniors Peter Carlson and Conor Read.

The new stage management of Olivia Milsted and a fresh start for the behind the scenes crew should make for an awesome fall play.
