The Garretson High School One Act Play season has been in full swing throughout January, with a full cast of characters rehearsing for the show, "Among Friends and Clutter". They will be performing for the public on Sunday, January 26 at 3:00 p.m. before they bring the production to Regions on Tuesday.
"It's a blend of comedy and serious," said Director Erika Brown.
"Among Friends and Clutter" by Lindsay Price is a show about the lives of seven characters, who "experience the most important relationships in life: friends, family, and love", according to the show's synopsis. As they imagine what it will be like to go through their lives, some will succeed, others will fail, and all will grow.
For her part, Brown is grateful the schools no longer have to produce only comedy or only dramatic works every other year. She was excited about the large number of students who had tried out for the production, and did her best to cast all who were interested. There are nineteen actors and one lights and sound tech.
The show will premiere on Sunday, January 28 at 3:00 p.m. in the Garretson School Old Gym. Regions will be held in Canton on Tuesday, and if they make it to the State One-Act Play Festival in Brookings, it will be performed again between February 6-8.
