This year’s high school fall drama production is called, “A Tale Told by an Idiot,” and will be presented Nov. 6-8 at 7:00 p.m. in the CBA Chapel.
Unlike previous years, the fall drama is not one single story. Instead, it centers on the themes of love and death and pulls scenes from various Shakespearean works. Twenty students make up this year’s cast. The plays included are Romeo and Juliet, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Taming of the Shrew.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased from director and faculty member, Eugene Moretti.
Let’s get to know some of the cast.
Kyle Huynh, the only freshman in the cast, plays Iago in Othello. He is in French Club and plans to perform in the spring musical.
Q: What fictional character do you think you’re most like?
A: The Doctor, from Doctor Who. We’re both very clever and find unusual ways to get out of situations.

Q: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
A: I want to go to Thailand. I love the food and they have good beaches. I wouldn’t want to go to one of the big cities, though, they’re too crowded.

Q: If you were stranded on an island, what three items would you bring with you?
