Student-written, -directed plays to stage for three nights in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES — Student creativity will continue to be on stage for the next three nights during the Port Angeles High School Thespian Club’s fall production.

The curtains open for two student-written and -directed plays at 7 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday at the Port Angeles Performing Arts Center, 304 E. Park Ave.

Admission is $5, or $4 for current students.

The one-act plays “A Mistake” and “The Butler Did It” opened Wednesday.

“They’re both very good, very well-done,” said Steven Zarit, Thespian Club adviser and producer of the plays.

‘A Mistake’

“A Mistake,” written and directed by Megan Mundy, is a family drama about what happens when a member of a pair of twins returns home — 20 years after her death, Zarit said.

The cast features thespians Madi Drew, Tavin Dotson, Hannah Little, Genna Mirch, Brady Anderson, Deanna Trujillo, John Doster, Kay Methner, Aidan Abbot, Cody Anderson, Sarah Chestnut, Emma Szezepczynski, Leah Marsh and Sarah Baker.

“The Butler Did It” is a seriocomic murder mystery written and directed by Mary Dawson and Kayla LaFritz.

‘The Butler Did It’

The title of the play gives away nothing because the entire family’s name is Butler, and they have a butler, Zarit said.

The cast features thespians Leah Marsh, Emma Szezepczynski, Tavin Dotson, Megan Mandy, Kay Methner, Madi Drew, Aidan Abbot, Kayla LaFritz, Cody Anderson, John Doster and Lynette House.
