MHS Drama Department: Dearly Departed
The McKinleyville High School Drama Department is ready to tickle everyone’s funny bone with their spring play “Dearly Departed,” a dysfunctional family comedy. Directed by MHS Drama teacher Steve Nystrom, student actors find themselves telling the story of the beleaguered Turpin family in the backwoods of the Bible belt. Co-authored by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, the play shows the audience that living and dying in the South is seldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral, the Turpin’s other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud worries himself silly as the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. Performances are March 21st through March 24th at the McKinleyville High School Multi-purpose Room. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the curtain rises at 7 pm. Snacks and refreshments are available during the intermission. General Admission tickets are $8 and $6 for students and seniors. In addition to enjoying some fun entertainment, audience members are helping to support the Drama Departments activities which include theater workshops, performances during the year for school, and an educational trip to Ashland, Oregon.
