Ophelia
Book by By Jeff Wanshel
Directed by Allison Irvine, this play imagines a world where, rather than being relegated to an unceremonious offstage death, Ophelia takes center stage in the story of Shakespeare's most famous brooding prince. Join us for a night of swords, vengeful ghosts, and perhaps more than one person hiding in the curtains…
The role of Ophelia will be played by Nadya Peterson on 11/14,11/15,11/16 and 11 /20.
The role will be played by Elinor Largent on 11 /21 and 11 /22.
The Westside Drama program was created in 2003 with our first production, Grease. Since then the program has grown to include three shows per year: a fall drama play, a winter student-directed production, and a spring musical. To date, the WSHS Drama program has staged more than 50 shows and counting.
Our program strives to produce high-quality, technically complex, artistically relevant shows, never forgetting the goals of educational theater: to give students opportunities to build self-confidence, develop their teamwork skills, learn responsibility and accountability, and, ultimately, explore the human condition - all while working towards a common goal with their classmates. On stage or backstage, important skills are learned every time you work on a show.
