Canfield Players present ‘Drop Dead’

Canfield High School students will present “Drop Dead” by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore on March 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

Regina Renyolds, Director, recently said, “This is one of the funniest, if not the funniest, play I have ever read or seen.”

In the play, a cast of has-been actors plan to revive their careers in ‘Drop Dead’ - a potboiler murder mystery directed by “Wonder Child of the Broadway Stage” Victor Le Pewe (a psychotic eye twitching megalomaniac). However, at the dress rehearsal the set falls, props break and the producer and an actor are murdered. During the opening night performance the murders continue. The remaining thespians must save the show and their careers, solve the mystery and stay alive for curtain calls.

Canfield’s cast includes Zachery Bernat, Michael Stefanic, Emily Hofsess, Rosie Bresson, Zach Gierlach, Monica Bone, Mitchell Halley, Gregory Halley, Taegen Catlin and Alex Kluchar.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the ticket line at 330-702-7128 or they can be purchased at the door. Adult tickets are $8 and students and senior citizens are $5.
