All School Cast List is Finalized
By Elizabeth Furstenau
The all school play is starting up again. Head director Brock Bretschneider and assistant coaches Chloe Cederburg and Macie Timm held auditions Tuesday, February 4 through Thursday, February 6. Many new and returning faces read for the part they hoped to get.
The directors wasted no time and had the cast list posted on Friday, February 5. The group will be performing The Play That Goes Wrong by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, & Henry Shields. The show includes six parts. With many students wanting to be on stage, the directors thought it would be fun to write up a second script due to the main play having few parts. This show will take place before The Play That Goes Wrong.
The cast for The Prelude, the first show of the evening, includes many of the new actors and actresses: Frank will be played by newcomer Boston Krueger, Ron will be played by Elliot Vanness, Brecken Schwartz’s first ever role will be Victor, Payton Ebmeier returns to her old lady persona as Buelah, Alexis Sporleder will take the role of Barbara, Sabrina will be played by Makayla Shefl, Malorie will be played by Jayna Prochaska. Returning to the stage, Hadleigh Collison will play Lucy, playing her twin brother Leo is Spencer Sindt, Sam will be played by Isabelle Streff, Lillian Blank will be playing Karen, newcomer Bradyn Schwartz will play Doctor Robert, Lauren Ueding, Amelia Ahlers, Chelsey Ottis, Cooper Collins, Jenalee McRoberts, and Jared Northcutt will play crew 1-6, Evelyn Skrdla will be Police 1 with Sawyer Konert as Police 2, and William Blank, Payton Cederburg, Corbin Pfeil, Quinn Streff, Isabella Skillstad, Avery Wragge, and Natasha Zamora will be additional crew members.
The cast of The Play That Goes Wrong will include Addison Frye as Annie, Brayden McRoberts as Trevor, Aubrey Hanson as Christine, Kreighton Simpson as Jonathan, Elizabeth Furstenau as Rachel, Lauren Delka as Denise, Nickolas Efta as Max, and Mya Johnson as Sandra.
“Although it feels unreal that this will be my last play,” Hanson claims. “I'm excited about the play we chose because many of our seniors have been asking for this since freshman year.”
Veronica Orona and Kaylee Steffen are co-student technical directors. There are some new faces in the crew this year as well. Scarlett Babl, Tiffany Chaney, Trinity Christiansen, Kohin Eichberger, Brailey Jensen, Maya Johnson, Ava Knox, Natalie Kosch, Alexander McKeown, Maci Miller, Blair Nitz, Soiyer Pfeiffer, Layne Prince, Claudia Riggert, and Skylar Scholting are a part of this year’s crew.
“I did it my eighth grade year and had a blast, but once I got into high school, I got a job and found myself too busy to participate in the play,” Knox states. “This year, though, I learned how to balance my work, and I decided to do the play one last time. A group of us seniors thought it would be fun to join so that also made my decision to join pretty easy.”
The all school play will be performed Friday, April 11, and Saturday, April 12, at 7 p.m.
