THS play ‘The Beatles Slept Here’ a weekend attraction TEHACHAPI NEWS
Tehachapi High School Intermediate Drama class students continue their presentation of the mystery-comedy “The Beatles Slept Here” Friday, May 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 11 at 2 and 7 p.m. Twelfth grade student director Nick Tanaka said he and the students have great fun working on the play. He also spoke highly of his male lead, Sgt. Paprika, played by 11thgrader Alexzander Chappell, describing him as “able to [portray] a large range of emotions.” The play follows Sgt.

upbeat and a definite must-see for anyone who loves the Beatles.”
