Where there’s a wedding, there’s an array of wedding guests! In “Drowsy Chaperone” the guests range from Mrs. Tottendale, the show’s version of Dori the fish from “Finding Nemo”, to Aldolpho, the Latin lover seeking someone to admire him as much as he does, and the Drowsy Chaperone herself, who is too drunk to keep an eye on the bride-to-be.  When two gangsters, sent to spoil the wedding, disguise themselves as bakers from the catering company, get ready to laugh your buns off!

Director Robin Edwards suggests, “This show is for anyone who enjoys musical theatre or just loves a good laugh!”  She attributes her success to, “The perfect three-way collision of talented students, supportive parents, and amazing co-directors!”  According to Edwards, “Vicki Belnap, the school’s choir teacher and Performing Arts Department Head, polishes student vocal performances to a professional level, and Susan DeMille, the choreographer, transforms even the gawkiest teenage boy into a coordinated hoofer to rival Fred Astaire!”  

Edwards claims parent support enhances the experience for students as well as audiences, stating, “Our parents feed the cast, sell tickets, hang posters, organize costuming, sell concessions, and gather donations to support our productions. Without them, we would have a lovely show with no one to watch it and nothing to eat at intermission.” Edwards credits the students with being the essence of the show’s entertainment. She said, “The life of the show comes from the talented students who willingly work to improve until every aspect of the show is performance-perfect. They inspire me and will entertain and inspire our audiences.”
