Just came across this article on the recent production of The Butler Did It! at Selah High School in Selah, WA. It's one of the best I've read, with vivid details and lots of interesting quotes. What's more, it was written for the Yakima Herald-Republic by a sophomore at the school.
Well done, Colton. You've got a bright future ahead of you as a journalist, if you choose to go that route.
The best part of the story? Learning how the cast became a close-knit family through the three-month (!) rehearsal process. As Aleksandra Pawlak, a foreign exchange student Poland who played Edwina Corry, said: “Being with all these people shows that I have a place here.”
That's theatre in a nutshell: providing a place--a family, a home--for those who may not fit in anywhere else.
Warning: The article does includes a spoiler, revealing the name of the murderer. If you don't want to know, you may not want to read the article.
