The Norman Carter 2018 Drama Club started practicing in early January for this year鈥檚 performance.
Every year when the students sign up for the drama club they are asked to sign a 鈥渃ommitment contract.鈥� This ensures the student will be at every practice, committed to learning their lines and committing themselves to their cast members to ensure the production goes off without a hitch.
The 25-member cast performed Silver鈥檚 Secret May 23 at McLurg High School gymnasium.
The opening scene featured Long John Silver, played by Cruz Sittler,听 sick and dying with Smee by his side. Long John Silver鈥檚 sons, Blackbeard, Redbeard and No Beard, were soon by their dying father鈥檚 side. Long John Silver gave his sons each a map to go on a journey to find three keys that would open Long John Silver鈥檚 most precious of all treasures.
The three pirate sons and Smee set off on a journey where they met many characters along the way. They had run-ins with lobsters and tricked the key away from听 a bunch of mermaids. They encountered the lost souls of the seas and smugglers. After getting all the keys, the brother pirates opened their late father鈥檚 booty revealing his most precious of fortune, a picture of his three sons.
The cast gave a brilliant performance. They delivered their lines flawlessly, loud and clearly. The acting from all the members of the cast was impressive.
The hard work and the commitment could be seen throughout the play and in the cast themselves. All cast members delivered on their commitment contracts.
Mrs. Botorff and Mrs. Fergueson are committed to co-ordinating a drama club full of committed and talented performers within the walls of Norman Carter Elementary School here in Wilkie. Bravo.
