Creek drama club to present online radio plays

INTERSVILLE — Drama students at Indian Creek High School are preparing for another year of productions, beginning with online radio plays this month.

Theater instructor Robert Zinsmeister stated a second year of broadcasts is planned, with three performances set on the ICHS Theater YouTube page during the next couple of months. The radio show creates another alternative for students to craft their talents — not only as cast members, but behind the scenes, as well.

“All of the radio plays will be student-directed,” said Zinsmeister.

Just in time for the Halloween season, students will present “The Haunting: The Thought,” at 7 p.m. Oct. 27. The production will be directed by student Ava Christian. This is a psychological thriller told through the narrative of a murder investigation.

The following production will be the mystery “Sherlock Holmes: The Problem of Thor Bridge.” It will be directed by Abigail Zinsmeister at 7 p.m. Nov. 17.

The story follows the famous sleuth as he investigates the murder of a former U.S. senator’s wife and tries to clear the family’s governess of the crime.

The classic holiday tale “A Christmas Carol,” will be broadcast online at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 and will be directed by V. Diaz.

Charles Dickens’ timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Crachit, Tiny Tim and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future will be on display to delight listeners and brighten yuletide spirits, according to Zinsmeister.

The high school’s Fall Festival of Theater will showcase four short plays and monologues and songs featuring drama students and drama club members.

Plays include “The Ketchup Bottle,” a sharp comedy about the relationship between two sisters; “A Perfect Partnership,” a romantic comedy about finding love in unexpected places; “The Waiting Room,” a story of three people who find themselves in a waiting room and unsure of where they are, but they all have one thing in common; and “Haunted,” about an aspiring actress haunted by four ghosts that like to highlight her bloopers and mistakes.

These productions will be held in the auditorium at 7 p.m. Dec. 1-2 and at 3 p.m. Dec. 3. There is a $5 admission cost.
