The Manor School Drama Club hosted an absolutely side-splitting rendition of Jonathan Rand’s short comedy, “Check Please,” on Wednesday, June 7.
In addition to the play, the School Community Council organized a supper which many took part in prior to the start of the show.
The cast of the play included Kyle B., Desiree R., Trista K., Destiny R., Hannah L., Vincent S., Cooper F., Jennifer W., Shay-lynne E., Aiza W., and Elizabeth M. The play had more roles than actors, so the cast relied on their costumes and talent to portray different characters throughout the evening.
The very funny play takes a look at the worst blind dates you could go on. From someone not paying attention to anything you say or do… including choking, while an individual at a neighbouring table saves the girl’s life, to a kleptomaniac who slowly places everything on the table in her bag and runs off at the end taking everything, including the tablecloth with her.
It was a comical undertaking, which the cast was able to pull off flawlessly, bringing roaring laughter to reverberate off of the gym walls.
The play wouldn’t have been possible without those behind the scenes including the crew: Kara B., Caydence C., and Micheline B.
Director, Korinn Riddell, said that she is continually impressed by the youth who, may be a small cast, continue to put on fantastic shows each year. They put in a lot of effort and are quite the talented, caring bunch; which helps younger students just starting feel comfortable in their new endeavour.
Riddell also thanked everyone else who helped to make the performance possible from those that donated set pieces, costumes, etc…
Overall it was an entertaining evening, which was enjoyed by all in attendance.
