Drama Club to Compete in West Chester University's Theatre Festival April 30
The Archmere Academy Drama Club is taking the one-act play, Asylum, to West Chester University's High School Theatre Festival on Wednesday, April 30. Seven schools will perform one-act plays (plays that are less than one-half hour in length) and will receive live feedback on their performances from a panel of judges. In the afternoon, while judges confer, the students take part in an acting workshop. Then, shows are awarded "Best Show," "Best Actor / Actress," "Best Ensemble," etc.
Archmere's Drama Club will perform David Bush's play, Asylum.The play is a look into the lives of eight inmates in a sanitarium - the audience is taken on a whirlwind ride through the lives of these patients. During an art therapy session, we find out their individual back stories and what brought them to this place. All-in-all the play is about these patients finding a home in the chaos of their worlds.
