The ORRHS Drama Club to present the musical "The Drowsy Chaperone"
Thursday, April 10 at 7pm - Friday, April 11 at 7pm - Saturday, April 12 at 7pm - Sunday, April 13 at 2pm
The Drowsy Chaperone
The story begins as a lonely musical theatre fan known as the Woman in Chair, played by Tessa Ripley, '28, sits alone in her apartment, seeking comfort in her favorite 1920s musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. As she plays the record, the show magically comes to life in her living room, transporting both her and the audience into a dazzling, over-the-top Broadway spectacle. Other principal roles include Amanda Tomasso, '26 as the Drowsy Chaperone, Sienna Roveda, '25 as Janet Van De Graaf, and Calder Eaton, '25 as Robert Martin. Some the humor is a bit grown-up so audience members should be no younger than grade 5 or 6. The Drowsy Chaperone is a Canadian musical with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison and a book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar.

Winner of 9 Tony Awards -
God of Carnage is a sharp, fast-paced comedy that shows what happens when parents stop being polite and begin to behave badly. When two sets of parents meet to discuss a fight between their sons, each participant is mature and reasonable but as the conversation goes on, things get tense, then, totally out of control. What starts as a simple discussion turns into a hilarious, messy battle of insults, meltdowns, and unexpected alliances. The adults reveal their true colors, showing that they might not be any more grown-up than their children after all. God of Carnage is a funny and eye-opening look at how people handle conflict and how sometimes – they really don’t!

SARAH WHINNEM- Assistant Director (2021-present)
Sarah Whinnem has been a part of the drama club for eight incredible productions filled with laughter, tears, and enough caffeine to power a small nation. She would like to express her appreciation to everyone in the club for all their hard work and dedication over the last four years. She is so proud of every student and parent involved in the club. As her child prepares to take his final bow and move on to the next act of life, Sarah is left wondering: “Do I go too? Or just hide in a prop cabinet and keep showing up?”
