A cast complement of over 50 pupils from Cannons Creek Independent High School performed ‘Virgil’s Wedding’ for two evening performances on 11 and 12 May. “Virgil’s Wedding” is part of a series of comedic plays about Virgil Sludge and the town of Lickskillet by Eddie McPherson. Ms Delanie, a big city wedding planner, wants a promotion… But in order to earn it, she has to do the impossible: Bring elegance to a hillbilly wedding. This will be difficult when the father of the groom catches on fire, the bride has a major bad hair day, and the groom is missing. “I’m so glad I had a second opportunity to direct a play in the Virgil series. I enjoy the comedic contrast between the hillbillies and the city slickers immensely. The characters are quirky and the events in the play are quite whacky – so it was really fun to direct!” – Ms Judith Herbig, Director.
Some comments:
