Drama Dept. gets emergency services called while practicing Julius Caesar

Recently the Mount Carmel drama department has been putting their talents to work for the upcoming Julius Caesar production. After the success of the showing for A Few Good Men last year, the drama department has been working their hardest to replicate the fame and fortune that came with the play last year. Unfortunately, some unforeseen circumstances have arisen with their new levels of success. 

While practicing for the upcoming performance, the Drama Club had an unexpected audience listening in. In the scene where Caesar gets stabbed, junior Payton Skalnik had to make agonizing screams.

Unfortunately, some passersby overheard the loud cries for help and immediately called 911 stating that someone in the school had been attacked and needed help. 

“I was scared that someone had gotten seriously hurt,” said MC principal Mr. Scott Tabernacki. “Thankfully it was just the drama department, but now I have to deal with the police and the medics for a false call.”

Unfortunately that attention to detail would be what caused a run in with emergency services. 

“We were all really focused and everyone was so engrossed at this point,” said junior Aaron Hyler, who plays Casca in the performance. “Once the medics came we barely noticed them walking through the doors.” 

“I thought something interesting had finally happened here,” A civilian in the whole situation, sophomore Cal Covotsos, spoke of his initial reaction to seeing the first responders. "Unfortunately it was just a fake call to 911.” 

Investigations are currently ongoing throughout the lunches to find the caller. Administrators have been trying to get further information through methods like bribery using pizza and forgiving write ups.
