GPCS Drama Club Takes First Place!
The GPCS Drama Club takes 1st place at the MPA One-Act Drama Festival this year. The club presented “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon”. It is a one act play written by Don Zolidis. The play is;“Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast– paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil’s Grandmother.”
Next, taking the show to States! The GPCS Drama Club will compete on Friday, March 22 in the State's One Act Drama Festival. This is held at Freeport High School. Doors open at 5:45pm and GPCS performs at 6:00pm. Cost is $4/student and $7/adult.
There is a chance to see this award winning cast perform the play. Come to GPCS on Thursday, March 28 at 7:00pm. It is a fun show!
