The cast list is complete for the Nov. 19-21 fall play. Students including senior Zack Short, and juniors Ellyn Yarde, and Alec Broeker will be a part of the production.

“There’s a lot of interest in the play this year,” Short said. “There’s a lot of kids who are interested in it too. With more kids interested, it will make the play better.”

This year drama club is performing “Fools” by Neil Simon.

“It’s about a new teacher,” Drama teacher Jeff Tandler said. “The town is cursed with stupidity and he has to break the curse. If he doesn’t, he becomes cursed as well.”

Tandler is enthusiastic about the play and so are some of the students including junior Nicole Cuneo.
According to Cuneo, about 40 people attended auditions. “Fools” has 24 parts giving many students a chance to be in the production.

“A lot of their friends will be in it,” Cuneo said. “It’s a big cast and it’s a really cute, funny play. Because there are a lot of parts, there’s a better chance they will get one.”

With auditions done, Tandler is ready to get down to business to make this fall play successful. His goal is to get more students to see the play.

“[Students should come] for one to see their classmates,” Tandler said, “And two all the money we earn goes to the drama department. Also it’s cheaper and more entertaining than seeing a movie.”
