I can only say...BRAVO!..."A Holiday Day" has come and gone and if you missed it be sorry you did. It was the best thing I have seen in years. The three creative minds who scripted this original play showed quite a show of innovative and creative genius and they are pictured above; Seth Lesemann - left, Derek Ferree - right, and Zac Kolves - rear. The play was hilarious and the creation of the props used were remarkable. Who would think of using a roll of packing tape as a musical instrument or a leaf blower and toilet paper to to make a very dramatic effect?
Director, Carol L. Rainer, did her usual excellent job with a cast that included: Hadley Karrick, Zac Kolves, Derek Ferree, Anna Oest, Arti Parikh, Seth Lesemann, Adan Smith, Gabby Lewis, Tyler Ferree, Ben Homann, Brea Lesemann, and Brock Jump. The Elves, and what a bunch of Elves they were: Andrea Smith, Kayliegh Cogar, Adan Smith, Skye Mibbs, Mackenzie Case, Jamie Weldy, and Kylan Brent. The Crew also did a great job and they are: Andy & Shannon Karrick, Rick & Julie Yocum, Zac Kolves, Dylan & Lexi Welker, Gabby Lewis, Adan Smith, Skye Mibbs, Hadlie Karrick, Beth & Brian Lesemann, and Kaye Taylor.
EVERYONE did just a fantastic job, and this should just be a very shinning example of the many forms of talent our young folks have in this community. I am extremely proud of all of you, it was a great pleasure for me to be there and to be able to photograph your creation and hard work.
Carol Rainer's statement read: "Thank you all for coming and supporting the kids. The 3 senior boys who wrote this play have been a pleasure to work with in all of the productions they have been in for the last 4 years. One of them is off to SIU to study film making. Because of your patronage of the arts, the students have grown and continue to reach for the stars and beyond."
