Pella High School Fall Play Opens Tonight

Posted: Friday, October 30th, 2009 at 6:21 am

And Then There Were None, a play by Agatha Christie, opens Friday night at Pella High School. Pella Drama and Speech Director Suzi Jones tells KNIA/KRLS that rehearsal for the murder mystery production has been a challenge because of several students out with illness.

“And then there were none would be a nice title for our rehearsal process,” joked Jones. “Last Friday five of the eleven cast members were out with the flu and we haven’t had the full cast together for probably over two weeks.”

Still, Jones says she’s excited about the roles that the students will get to act out and says she’s looking forward to opening night. Pella High School’s fall drama production And Then There Were None shows Friday at Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., with tickets available for $5 at the door of the Pella High School Auditorium, with doors opening at 7:00 p.m.

‘Annie’ Opens Tonight at PCHS

Posted: Thursday, October 29th, 2009 at 6:25 am

[simage=710,400,y,center]
The musical Annie opens Thursday night at Pella Christian High School. The fall production is directed by Marlo Van Peursem, who says the casting of several theatre veterans in the lead roles has him excited about the performances.

“Annie is being played by Nicole Vande Zande and Daddy Warbucks is Chess Van Wyk,” said Van Peursem. “Grace Farrell, the efficient secretary is played by Kristi Van Wyk, and Miss Hannigan – that cruel orphanage director – is played by Sara Van Gorp.”

Van Peursem adds that several components of the production will make Pella Christian’s performance of the well-known musical even more enjoyable for the audience.

“We like to do a lot of different special effects, so you’re going to see sets that rotate on wheels, fabulous costumes, the lighting is pretty cool, and the choreography is just unbelievable.”

Annie will be performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. in the Vermeer Auditorium at Pella Christian High School. Tickets can be purchased at the high school office and are six dollars for adults and four dollars for children.
