Following the spring musical production, Drama Club plans to end the year with a laugh by performing Saturday Knight Live. According to Drama Club sponsor Jeff Tandler, the club hasn’t put on a production like this in nine years. On May 13 at 7 p.m. actors will preform their versions of some of the sketches made famous on the well known television program Saturday Night Live (SNL).

“We will pick sketches that we can change to reflect FHN life,” Tandler said. “For example, ‘Coffee Talk’ will be ‘Guidance Talk.’”

Saturday Knight Live will be the first end of the year show since 2009, when Drama Club hosted KnightProv. The two shows are based on completely different concepts. Instead of the actors improvising sketches, the Saturday Knight Live show will consist of rehearsed sketches that will be created by the club members. Some will be based on some of SNL’s most popular works such as Will Ferrel’s “More Cow Bell”, Chris Farley’s “Down by the River”, and Adam Sandler’s “Opera Man”.

“I think people will really like it because it should be really funny, and we have a lot of good people in Drama Club,” Drama Club president Katharine Carney said. “We just want everyone to come out and see it.”

Tickets to the show will be sold at the door the day of the show for $5. Drama Club doesn’t expect this show to be a large money maker but more of a show that will be fun for the performers and audience.

“It will be a smaller show,” senior Drama Club member Jermey Hyatt said. “It will be a good time.”
