HHS Fall Drama Club Auditions Announced

Auditions for Huntington High School’s fall drama club production of “Anne of Green Gables” will be held on Monday, September 16 at 2:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The audition is open to all students in the school.

Audition call-backs are slated for Tuesday and Wednesday, September 17-18 at 2:30 p.m. Rehearsals will kick-off immediately and continue for several hours each afternoon right up to opening night of the production on Friday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The show will also be presented the following evening, Saturday, November 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be on sale at the door.

Michael Schwendemann, the school’s drama club advisor, said those auditioning for a role in the play should prepare a one minute comic monologue. Mr. Schwendemann is a veteran director and actor and a popular high school English teacher.

“As adapted from L.M. Montgomery’s 1908 novel by Alice Chadwicke, Green Gables is the home of the lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister Marilla,” according to Mr. Schwendemann. “They agree to adopt a boy to help with the farm work. Imagine their surprise when Anne Shirley, a girl in her teens, is sent by the orphanage by mistake!  Anne touches Matthew’s heart with her vivid imagination and her charitable viewpoint, but it takes time to reach the tender heart beneath Marilla’s tough exterior. This lovely classic is full of warmth and wit.”

Last year’s drama club productions featured outstanding acting, singing, dancing and impressive set designs. The spring musical, The Sound of Music, drew a series of large crowds.
