Port Angeles students to present John Patrick Shanley vignettes

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles High School will present “Welcome to the Moon and Other Plays” by John Patrick Shanley this week.

Performances are set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Port Angeles High School Performing Arts Center at 304 E. Park Ave.

Tickets are $9 for general admission and $8 for students. Youth 10 and younger will be admitted free.

The play “presents six vignettes in which every character is in search of the hidden, the illusive, or maybe even the lost formula of love,” said Kelly Lovall, director.

“They are not looking for any ordinary ‘mundane’ type of love, but instead, they thirst for real, deep, profound, serious connections. Some connections are achieved, some are lost, and some find form in the attempt.”

The student co-director is Freja Jarvegren-Uecker. Vocal direction is by Jolene Gailey, with Jazz Band direction by Doug Gailey and orchestral direction by James Ray.

Dances are choreographed by Kayla Oakes. Technical direction is by Patric McInnis. Set concept and design are by Shawne Johnson.

The cast includes Madison Casad, Bradley Alemao, Maariyah Dugan, Mercedes Shimko, Sage Star, AnLi Guttormsen, Madelynne Jones, Isabelle Cottam, Rylan MacDonald, Stephen Kaufmann, Ethan Musalek, Edward Lester, Joelynne Jewell, Brandon Gomez, Caleb Mathison, Jae Harrell, Simon Close, Sammy Weinert, Rhianna Stockdale, Amathyst Porter, Ruby Haris, Zak Harrell, Weslee Laughman, Danny Son, Bailon Maestas, Rhiannon Boyd, Catherine Wright, Maddie Orth, Myra Walker, Emma Riffle, Talia Anderson, Breanna Schafer, Lilly Satterlee, Madison Peterson, Madeline Montanna and Dylan Hopkins.
