The STAHS Drama Club delighted audiences with their production of the classic mystery play, "Clue." Directed by Dean Woodbeck, who has now directed five and co-directed two productions at the school, this year's play was inspired by the enthusiasm of Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter, River, as well as Woodbeck's own fond memories of playing the game.
The process of bringing "Clue" to the stage began in February, at the start of the second semester. Woodbeck and his team worked diligently to overcome the unique challenges of this production. "Some of the biggest challenges were finding rehearsal times that worked for all cast members, as they are all busy students, and putting together the set," Woodbeck shared.
Despite these challenges, the production was a resounding success, with three showings that captivated the audience. Woodbeck expressed deep gratitude for the support received from the school staff. "I really appreciate all the help from staff that made it possible to make this production happen. It is always a great gift to see the cast and crew come together as a team and have so much fun making the production happen," he said.
The teamwork and dedication of everyone involved were evident in the polished performances and the intricate set design.
St. Thomas Aquinas High School's production of "Clue" not only showcased the talents of its students but also highlighted the power of collaboration and the joy of bringing a story to life on stage.
