There is no better way to welcome in the new year than with a fine dramatic production, and St Peter’s has not failed to do so yet During the year, Prep Dramatics presented the dark comedy of Stalag 17. This dark com­ edy told the story of a group of American POWs in a German war camp during World War IL The play focused on three days in the camp barracks, during which the prisoners daringly come up with a cunning plan of escape. Throughout all of the mayhem, the POWs tried to avoid capture by the snitch that resided among them. The play welcomed back veteran performers seniors Alejandro Melendez, Michael Bomeer, and Alexander Doyle. Dra matics also welcomed several newcomers, including at! niors Philip Dacchille, Philipp Janssen, John de Armas, and juniorJudd Madarang. Each new actor brought their fresh and exciting acting abilities to the stage. In spite of the lack of any female counterparts, the cast did a fabulous job of working together and truly bringing to life the comedy, mystery, and suspense that made the drama what it is, “Such a talented cast made myjob easier because they really knew the histrionics of the play” said English teacher and director Mr.Jack Campion. “I knew we had the talent for it this year, and the talent truly was superb. I enjoyed the comedy, the tension, and drama; it really was great” Senior Ian Bemaiche captured the gen­ eral concensus of the play, saying that “it was an intriguing historical romedy.” With such a complete and utter suc­ cess, there seems no uncertainty about the promisingfuture of the ftep Dramatics program.
