Weir drama club to perform

WEIRTON -- The Weir High Drama Club will be presenting the much-awaited "Slapdash! Quadruple 2" at 7 p.m. May 17 at the school, officials announced.

This evening of comedy improv is the eighth edition of the wildly-popular improv extravaganza, according to drama officials.

The electrifying show is helmed by Weir High's theater director Corey E. Miller, who sponsors the Drama Club and the International Thespians Troupe No. 1556.

Student stage manager Emma Underwood will co-host the event.

The cast consists of Weir students Logan Wagner, Max Bilodeau, Levi Anderson, Eve Swearingen, Channing Swearingen, Makenzie Stear and Gracie Beagle.

And forget the scripts.

This cast will create the entire show -- making it up right on the spot.

Often, the performers rely on suggestions from the audience to supply the characters, situations and settings for their scenes.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door the evening of the show or online through the school's website.

Starting at /week.
