MHS Drama Club Leaves Audience Sweetened

“The suspense is horrible…I hope it’ll last.” Such were also the sentiments of the audience at MHS’s Paul M. Luther Auditorium over the weekend as the Drama Club presented its production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Mechanicville Middle and High School students, led by co-directors art teacher Katie Dollard and science teacher Nicole Marshilok, entertained crowds with performances on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Roe and his high school engineering class constructed mechanisms to allow the production to shift from set to set in a more efficient and seamless manner.

Another keystone success of the weekend was the way the students worked as a team to learn their lines, move the set pieces, and operate the lighting and sound systems.

“They made the play what it was: funny, wonderful and enjoyable for us as directors,” Dollard said. “Words can’t really describe my awe and admiration for my students after seeing them in this light.Here you will learn about modern lighting as well as all of the big flashlight, flashlight rings, 1000 lumens flashlight.
