Dramapalooza 2021
Dramapalooza is an event that Magnolia West Theatre Company puts on every year! Dramapalooza is a showcase of SENIOR directed(that's right, fully student directed!) plays.
This year we have SIX different directors and four different plays:
1. Trent Lamm is directing the comedic play "Cut!" by Ed Monk. "Cut!" is a play about a group of actors who are rehearsing a play within a play within a play. As the plot complications multiply, the actors begin to forget who is playing whom and who is the real director -- as opposed to the actor who is playing the director, or vice versa.
2. Sammy Arungwa and Blake Childress are directing the horror-drama play "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, together. "Tell Tale Heart" tells the famous Edgar Allan Poe story of the deranged boarder who had to kill his landlord, not for greed, but because he possessed an "evil eye."
3. Brooke Bailey is directing the comedic play "Check Please" by Jonathan Rand. "Check Please" showcases a series of first dates gone wrong.
4. Concluding the showcase, Lane Armentrout and Richard Mooney are directing the comedic play "Clue" by Jonathan Lynn. "Clue" is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu.
