The leaves are changing colors, the air is getting chilly, sweaters are being unearthed from closets everywhere. Fall is here, no doubt; and the one other thing that falls brings to Franklin High? None other than the fall play, the event everyone’s been waiting for! This year’s play is titled The Woman Who Came to Dinner, a play adapted from the movie that premiered in 1942, The Man Who Came to Dinner.
In this play, we explore the life of arrogant and egotistical radio personality Sheridan Whiteside, who, while on a tour in Ohio, injures herself by slipping over ice and ultimately becoming an unexpected guest for the Stanley family. Then, she proceeds to add her two cents onto every aspect of their life (whether they want it or not), and comically interfering with a relationship with her assistant Maggie Cutler and a local reporter, Bert Jefferson.
“The play is a comedy for all ages,” says Mr. Nettesheim, one of the main directors for the play. “The kids are working really hard to put it together and they’re excited to perform in front of the community and the students.”
Mary Ramsden, who plays the role of Sheridan Whiteside, also encourages attendance. “It’s a truly funny play and the entire cast has put to many hours of work into the production. It will be a fun evening for anyone who goes.”
Please be sure to go and see this play! Not only is it a fantastic way to spend an evening with family, friends, or even just by yourself, it’s an excellent way to support the school, as well as (or should we say, especially!) the fantastic members of the cast and crew. They’ll be so thankful you came! Please be there to provide them with a fantastic audience to guarantee fruits for their labor.
