CHS drama club presents dessert theatre
Hours of rehearsals and vocal practices are about to pay off for the cast and crew of the Carpenter High School drama club, in the form of their biennial dessert theatre.
Their most recent production, called Kiss Me, Cowgirl is a musical comedy set in a small town. Cast member Lara van de Venter said it is entertaining from start to finish.
“It’s about of bunch of boys trying to win their girls’ hearts, but they’re having a lot of trouble,” she said. “Luckily, this guy comes in from another town and helps them win girls by selling them sonnets and poems, but unfortunately they were Shakespearian poems and he told each guy he had written them himself and sold them at a high price… they were swindled.”
The play was written by Toronto-based playwright Vicktoria Adam, who is the daughter of Carpenter High teacher and co-director Dawn Benoit.
