‘Glass Menagerie’ wraps up showings; ‘Servant of Two Masters’ to show soon

Student productions take place as "Mary Poppins" auditions begin.

On Jan. 20-22, one of two student productions, “The Glass Menagerie,” was staged in the Thermond Drama Center.

The production pulled in over $1,000, even though it only ran for one weekend. The cast included juniors Mateo Morganstern and Shasta Ganti, senior Ania Kranz, and sophomore Liviya Katz and junior Shasta Ganti.

“[The Glass Menagerie] was a success,” said senior Hannah Julie Yoon, the show’s director. “Because the cast was so small, it was easier for them to get really close and make connections. People were telling me they believed [the cast] was a real family.”

Starting Feb. 2, the second student production, directed by senior Amelia Berardo, will debut. “The Servant of Two Masters” is a story about a goofy servant who takes on two masters in order to earn more money. Entwined in the plot are themes like love, disguise, death and family issues. The main cast includes seniors Mateusz Kranz, Katie Sabel and Kelly McLaughlin.

“I read ‘Servant’ as a freshman in Drama 2 as a project regarding different theatrical styles and eras. I really enjoyed the script I read,” Berardo said. “I found the characters to be incredibly lovable and intriguing, and I thought the plot was hilarious.”

“The Servant of Two Masters” will be showing Feb. 2-4 in the Thermond Drama Center.

In addition to the student productions, auditions for the Spring Musical “Mary Poppins” have taken place, with rehearsals soon to come.
