Hilarious, entertaining, funny, comical, amusing, quick-witted, and clever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those are all adjectives that could be used to describe NCHS\u2019s recent production of the Play That Goes Wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play posters advertising NCHS\u2019s production of The Play That Goes Wrong\u201d <\/em>claim that \u201cit tickles the funny bone.\u201d In this play written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Slayer, and Henry Shields and directed by Amber Schuler and Christina Howard, it truly did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cornly University Drama Society attempts to follow the story of a mysterious murder at Havisham Manor, but it doesn\u2019t go quite as planned. As they investigate the murder, they run into a few hitches, including, misplaced props, a faulty door, a collapsing set, and even a falling chandelier! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right from the start, the play doesn\u2019t go as planned. The actors deal with all kinds of mishaps including a  \u201ccorpse\u201d who isn\u2019t really dead, a few strong drinks, actors being knocked unconscious, and a falling set piece, By the end of act 2, when the cast finally figures out who committed the murdur the entire set falls apart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play was loaded with jokes, quick-witted sarcasm, and comical irony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, senior Brooklyn Coomer who played Perkins said, \u201cThe most challenging part of this play was staying in character! Trying not to laugh on stage was super difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Noah Phelps, who played Thomas Colleymore said, \u201cMy favorite part of doing this play was a lot of the funny stunts along the way. The biggest challenge was getting over my fear of heights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many cast members have said that even though this performance presented a challenge, they still had a lot of fun,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Colten Lawson, who played Cecil Haversham says,\u201d. My favorite part about doing this play was for sure just being around the cast all the time\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coomer also added,\u201dMy favorite memory was the cast party and we had the best time together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coomer, who has been doing theater for 6 years, said that this is for sure her favorite play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After NCHS\u2019s fall production of Disney\u2019s The Little Mermaid, <\/em>set the bar high, this play set the bar even higher. One thing is for sure, we can\u2019t wait to see what the NCHS Theatre Department does next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
