Theater Departments Prepares for Spring Play

By Jamie Kaiser

The cast of Anastasia works after school to practice a scene for their upcomng musical.

With Murder on the Orient Express being such a success for the Bishop Ireton Theater Program in December, they now are on the quest for their Spring Musical of Anastasia which will premiere at the Garwood Whaley Auditorium on Friday night at 7 on April 1st, with other show dates being the 2nd, 3rd, 8th and 9th of the month. The Bishop Ireton Theater Program has really been relentlessly working these last couple of weeks even taking time out of their weekends to master lines and accents, get costumes ready, learn choreography, and build chemistry. This cast is looking at somewhat of a quick turn around to prepare for the upcoming play but this isn’t something that’s new to them. With the great organization and leadership within the program the premiere of Anastasia is set to be a crisp one. These past couple weeks the crew and cast have been working on the meat and potatoes of the production with the performers working tirelessly on their singing step and footwork along with perfecting their lines for each scene. As they grind their craft, the crew has also been working hard on preparing sets, perfecting placement, along with cooperating with both their fellow crew and cast members to make everything go smoothly so that the play can be at one hundred percent ready and prepared by premier day. Not only have the students of the show been working hard but the staff have also put in countless hours perfecting choreography, costumes, and practice organization just to name a few. They also have been taking time away from their families with little to no complaints to see this play come to fruition and that doesn’t go unnoticed. The theater program is a special group to be a part of in the Bishop Ireton community because just like sport teams each member is going through each day, practice and rehearsal together. This is ultimately what builds appreciation for one another and builds strong bonds that are hard to be broken.
