Seniors Alex Hillman and Trevor Schmitt are the student directors of “The Best Show Never Seen,” while seniors Allie Pickerill and Gray Schierholt are the student directors of “I Can’t Go Out There.”
The evening also includes the horror drama “The Monkey’s Paw,” adapted by Badin seniors Gray Schierholt and Josh Gavin from a story by W.W. Jacobs.
“The Monkey’s Paw” asks the question: Would it be a curse or a blessing to be granted wishes on a talisman such as a mummified monkey’s paw? One family meets tragedy in this classic suspense story.
Schierholt and Gavin also are serving as student directors for show, said Mark O’Hara, coordinator of Badin drama.
“Gray and Josh are very talented and did a nice job working up this story for our stage,” O’Hara said. “The students take these efforts very seriously and that’s why they do well entertaining the theater-goers.”
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 19-21, in the Little Theatre at BHS. Tickets are $5, available at the door.
“These are three good short plays that the students are doing a great job with,” O’Hara said. “The audience will come away having really enjoyed the evening.”
