In the Worland High School drama production of "Words, Words, Words," lab monkeys Dane Bennett and Delanie Campbell discuss the merits of performing for scientists to receive fruit and cigarettes as rewards.
WORLAND – In preparation for the upcoming Wyoming State Drama Competition Nov. 30 – Dec. 2 in Casper, Worland High School drama club members will be performing their entries for the community at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday evening in the Worland High School Little Theater.
"I'm taking 50 [students] to state. We have to do technical events, we have to do acting, we have to do singing; just a variety of stuff," Worland High School drama coach Rick Dorn said. Last year the Worland Drama Club earned second place, he added.
Drama club members will perform two one-act plays- "Words, Words, Words," by David Ives and "Good People," by David Lindsay-Abaire. "We are also going to have music from various student entries that we are taking to the contest and I think at least one set of monologues," Dorn said.
Dorn explained that "Words, Words, Words" is a play about three chimpanzees that have been tasked with typing Shakespeare's Hamlet. "Good People" is a Tony Award winning play about a lady who is desperately trying to find a job so she hits up her ex-boyfriend. He added that "Good People" has some funny parts but is kind of a serious play.
A small admission fee will be taken at the door to cover royalties.
