The Bishop Ward Drama Club is taking a journey into high school in this weekend’s musical production, “Homework Eats Dog.”
The public may attend the musical production, according to Devon Whitton, director.
Senior Adrian Cisneros will play the role of Douglas Kobekanski, a science teacher who listens tirelessly to his students’ excuses on why they need an extension on their homework assignment. They will hear a lot of excuses, including one from an angel. Will this be the first class in 23 years to get an extension?
“I want to thank everyone for their dedication and work on this final production. My four years in drama have been some of my most favorite of high school. I am even inspired to study drama in college next year,” said senior Michael LeDesma, president of the Drama Club.
There are 22 seniors who will participate in their final performance of their high school careers. The hilarious and family friendly musical was written by Alan Haehnel.
Three shows will be held: Thursday, March 9, Friday, March 10, and Saturday, March 11. All shows start at 7 p.m. and are held in the Willard L. Phillips Memorial Auditorium on the second floor of the school at 708 N. 18th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
“This show will knock everyone’s socks off. There is something for everyone – interesting characters, huge dance numbers, and even a little bit of a love story,” Whitton said.
