On March 13th and 14th, the AMS Drama Department performed Mall Madness at the Ashland High School Little Theater.   This heartfelt story, set in the 1980’s, centers around a group of nerdy teenagers, Elwood, played by Evelyn Derr, Fletcher, played by Georgia Hall, and Stevie, played by Caitlyn Cunningham, who spend their Saturday afternoon at the mall. 

While Elwood fawns over Chanel, portrayed by Allyna Perrin, the queen bee of the Glams, his friends are eager to get back to their game of Dungeons & Dragons. But just when Elwood is sure he doesn’t have a chance, he learns that Chanel will go with any guy who will take her to see the ‘choicest girl band around’, and Chanel’s favorite, The Lipsticks, but there’s one problem: all of the tickets sold out in less than an hour. At least, that’s the case until a mysterious young lady gives him two tickets to Lipstick’s concert that night. Now he’s got the tickets. 

While he’s worrying about how to ask Chanel out, The Jocks, made up of Brock(played by Reid Policz), Garth (played by Vanessa Bracamontes), and Kenny (played by Holly Jarrell), distract Stevie and manage to snag Elwood’s tickets. 

What will he do now?
