New Play, Big Bad - By Ted

 Excitement over Arrowhead's future play, Big Bad, is all over the school. The sign up sheets in the lunchroom were overflowing with people who wanted to try out. The actual try outs were Jan 23, and tons of kids showed up. Mr. Brame anwswers questions you might have about Big Bad:

Q: What is the play about?
A:The play takes place in a fairy tale world where the Big Bad Wolf is being put on trial for all of the crimes done by various wolves in various fairy tails.

Q:When is it?
A:The play will be on March 7:00 @ 9:00 A.M. There will be a $2.00 cost to students to attend and you will get out of class!

Q:What are the actors doing to practice?
A: The actors are working hard in practice.  The first few weeks we will be blocking the show, which is where I tell the actors where to be and when.  After that we will go Off Book, or without our scripts in our hands, and run the show over and over.

Q:What are some of the roles?
A:The play features characters from all over fairy tales. Some don't have anything to do with wolves and are our lawyers like a Fariy God Mother and an Evil Stepmother.  There are characters that are accusing the wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and a girl who cried wolf.

Q: What will the set/props be?
A:We will be building a judges bench and Mr. Clark will be helping us paint a mural for the backdrop.  Costumes have been provided by Allcot Arts Center in KCK and the Lights will be brought in from SECT Lighting company.

I also asked if Big Bad is going to be as good as Cinderella, Cinderella, but Mr. Brame didn't answer. I'll let you decide for yourself what that means.

  1. Thanks for the publicity Ted. I am willing to go the record as saying this play is going to be awesome. There are a lot of talented kids involved. I'll leave the comparisons to the fledgling AMS literary critics.
