20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 18, 1989 Bargain entertainment: three plays for $3 by Rob Streich With runaway inflation there are few forms of enter- tainment that you can enjoy for under ten dollars a person. At 7:30 on April 24 and 26, Port Perry High School stu- dents and staff will be present- ing a choice of three or two fas- cinating one act plays at the bargain price of $3. Monday night audiences will thrill to the award winnin Zoo Story, the psychologica comedy Werewolf? and the powerful social commentary In-Grou Wednesday night will be a second showing of Zoo Stor and a spoof of every Britis murder mystery, The Real In- spector Hound. The students have been preparing for this event since just before Christmas. They feel very good about their per- formances and look forward to the audience response. Best in Durham The Zoo Story won first place at the Durham Regional Sears Festival as one of two best plays. The two actors Tay- lor Price and Steve London shared the award for best actor. This play by Edward Albec was written in the 1950's and takes place on a park bench in New York city. Director Mrs, Lackie suggests that some of the themes discussed are of a serious nature and viewing should be subject to parental discretion. Strong message The In-Group is being put on as a class project by a Grade 10 gifted English class under the direction of Miss Roth. The 12 students chose this drama out of many they read. Itis a message play with a pow- erful '80's discussion of preju- dice and elitism. A lesson which should be meaningful to all age groups. A couple ofhowls Werewolf? is the tale of a disturbed man who is trying to make believe that his life is bet- ter than in reality. This 4 char- acter play is full of comic flash- backs and promises to have a surprise ending which will in- trigue the audience. The Real Inspector Hound is a"play within a play." Based on the traditional British style of murder mystery, the audi- ence has the additional thrill of being forced to examine their role in the performance The tradition of producing several short plays at Port Perry High instead of a single major performance is a Jocade old, butit may be changi Presently, the stu ents are pleased that running four pro- ductions allows more people to participate in all the aspects of drama.
