FHS Drama Club to present ‘Stranded!’ on Mother’s Day weekend The Forks High School Drama Club is rehearsing for its upcoming performances on Mother’s Day weekend. The play is called “Stranded!” By Megan Orr, it is a comedy about a group of unlikely companions that are stranded on a deserted island and forced to survive. There is a professional basketball player, a fitness granny, a presidential candidate, Miss America, a cranky sports fisherman, a computer geek, a survival scout, an average teenager and a band of mini-pirates led by a pirate queen. There is a funny plot twist at the end that makes all of the madcap antics all the more hilarious.

FHS drama coach Wendy Bennett says the cast is doing great in rehearsals, already working without having to refer to the script. Having had more girls try out than boys some of the parts had to change a bit, but it all seems to be working out. The group has been rehearsing for about four weeks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Drama Club members must keep their grades up and also can earn their letter just like in any The cast takes a break from rehearsing for a photo. Forum photo other activity.

Donations to Oso have been delivered

On Saturday a 22-foot trailer, donated by Bill Sperry, filled with donated items from Forks residents and collected by Leppell’s Flowers, made its way to Oso. Butch and Ruth Kuchan did the driving

and Pete Wilder donated the truck and gas. The trailer contained three televisions, clothing, household items, a washer and dryer, beds and bedding. A check also

was given from donations from Forks residents. Once in Oso the group met up with a woman named Ione who once worked at the Pay and Save Coffee Shop.

discount tickets for those wishing to see the show more than once as well as family-of-four ticket pricing.

Looking for help to unload the items, a group of Hell’s Angels happened to be in a park across the street and they volunteered to do the unloading. Luckily they had never heard of the Forks loggers vs. Hell’s Angels incident of 1976. Thanks go out to all who donated.

Melinda Robinson gets a book and an autograph from Fabric of the Forest Quilt Show’s featured artist Dennis McGregor. During the show last weekend McGregor also sold and autographed the beautiful poster that he created for the event. On Saturday he read his book at the library and entertained those that attended with some music as well. Forum photo
