The theatre department released the cast lists for the fall shows for next year as well as the theatre productions class list on Wednesday. The directors chose to produce Picnic as a mainstage performance and Over the River and Through the Woods as a black box production.

“We chose two productions to give students a chance to really develop characters,” director Kari McKenzie said. “We are excited to see how the kids grow throughout the season.”

This is the second year for the department to focus on two fall shows, with an additional musical before the One Act Play competition begins. The directors are working on both shows together, however, which is a difference from last year’s separated productions.

“We prefer working together,” director Taylor Jarman said. “We work well together, and bounce ideas and visions off of each other, which leads to an awesome show.”

The two plays are both dramatic with comedic elements involved. They will not go up at the same time, yet the order of shows has not been determined.

“I am ready to see what next year holds” sophomore Alex Gaba said. “There will be challenges, but it’ll be worth it for the memories we create.”
