Dana Witkoski and Lee Harrington in Aesop's (oh so slightly updated) Fables directed by Molly Driggers. Dreher High School's auditorium was the setting for the annual senior directed plays April 3-7. This year's theme was Nine Ring Circus referring to the nine plays which were a diverse, exciting, and at times, hilarious repertoire.

There were over 70 student actors and technicians involved in the nine-ring circus.

Ali Collins directed The Ledge, the Ledger, and the Legend , a humorous one act play about a man about to commit suicide but who is stopped by a professional suicide consultant who points out that he is "being an amateur" about it.

Spike Heels was directed by Jaclyn Hall, a 20 minute play about two girlfriends of the same man who happen to meet and start a conversation.

Molly Driggers directed Aesop's (oh so slightly updated) Fables , a hilarious modification of the classic children's stories.

Drew Kennedy was the director of Cut, what he describes as "a play within a play within a play within...a play." This mind-boggling play had the crowd guessing until the end (and maybe even beyond that) who exactly was the director!

Bev Foster directed Take Five which was about a play going wrong yet turning out totally right.

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind was produced by Elizabeth May. It was an interactive play which required audience participation. It was a compilation of short monologues and dialogues and after each one, the audience shouts out the number from the "menu" of acts.

The Traitor's Camp , a new version of Macbeth that added in all the crazy British humor omitted by Shakespeare, was directed by Kyle Johnson.

Caitlin Merck directed Abara Cadaver , a murder mystery involving extramarital affairs, magic, disguise, and a fair amount of death...with laughter interspersed throughout.

Allison Arvay directed Relative Strangers , a bittersweet humorous and moving one-act play about two women who meet on a flight. One woman, 25-year-old Marie, is in search of a mother and quickly adopts the older woman, another Marie, as her mother-much to the latter Marie's chagrin.

The audience was supportive and responded to all plays with great enthusiasm and applause. The event is always a moving one as it is usually the last play in which the seniors take part before they move on to college.

Several directors introducing their shows tearfully thanked Jeannette Arvay, Dreher's Drama Department chair, for all of her guidance and support during the last four years.
