The drama department began their spring endeavors with the production of the modern comedy Young Frankenstein.
The cast and crew began working on March 17, which created a smaller than usual timeframe to prepare for the production.
“We [had] a very short amount of time to put up the show. It’s about two weeks less than our last show, which is huge in the theater world,” junior Taylor Lane said.
Despite the quick turnaround, the cast and crew brought optimism and passion to the stage during the show.
“It’s a time-consuming show, but if you truly love something and you put all your heart into it, it will inevitably be time-consuming,” junior Josh Blake said.
The play was not based on Mary Shelley’s original novel Frankenstein, but rather acted as a comedic sequel riddled with sexual innuendos and sarcasm.
“Every member of the cast brought something unique to the table and we were extremely nice and welcoming towards each other,” sophomore Stephen Underwood said. “We had a talented cast, an amazing stage crew, a great director, a high-quality pit accompanying us and some superb audiences.”
Such factors contributed to an overall positive reaction from the audience.
“I know that some of the content in the show was a little shocking to watch high schoolers display, but I think overall it was a funny show that people enjoyed,” sophomore Laura Goldberg said.
The actors brought their passion and Marshall spirit to life onstage.
“We are constantly pushing ourselves to do better art that not only we will be passionate about, but that will engage our peers and our community as a whole,” Lane said.
