"K-M-A-S Radio, Christmas on the Homefront"...

   Yet another great presentation by HHS Drama Club of the Dave Tippett play was made over the weekend. Directed by Carol L. Rainer, this wonderful group provided a first class production for all. Now, who says there is nothing to do in Havana.

  The story of K-M-A-S Radio takes place at Christmas time in December 1944. Long-suffering Arthur Kensington (Derek Ferree) finds himself in the midst of a battle to keep his tiny station, K-M-A-S, on the air. He’s planned a special holiday show with his eclectic staff of decidedly not-ready-for-prime time radio players, including a dyslexic sound person (Julie Nelson), a poetry/drama queen (Loran Massingale), and a pompous actor (Seth Lesemann) who has written a new radio play retelling the Nativity as a hard-boiled detective story. On top of that, everyone’s hopes are dashed when an anticipated visit from the famous singing Andrews Sisters turns out to be the not-so famous Epstein Cousins (Anna Oest and Arti Parikh).

  In the midst of all the chaos, we meet an Army hero (Blake Brown) who has lost his arm, and his self-respect through his act of cowardice. Add in an impressionable young man (Tyler Ferree) dreaming of war’s glory, a lonely orphan boy (Ben Friedrich), and a young wife (Becky Sisson) whose husband is missing in action, and we realize this special show is more important than ever.
   Join the Havana High Drama Club as K-M-A-S gets Christmas on the air and into the hearts of everyone!
K-M-A-S Radio features students from Havana High and Havana Junior High Schools who have been practicing for several weeks. Carol Rainer directs the production, with Beth Lesemann assisting. Other cast members include Charlene Prince, Meghan Landry, Breanne Lesemann, Gabby Lewis, Nichole High, Tiffany Wells, Taylor Session, Andrea Gann, Hadley Karrick, Isaiah Session, and Josh Duel.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
