Spring 2021 Class Performance - 1984
Summary
Winston Smith, living under the totalitarian rule of the Party, has the idea of writing a diary. It is a crime punishable by death and there is no way of knowing if he is being watched. He imagines two futures—in one, a future readership in a free society think of him as a hero; in the other he is caught, executed and forgotten. Perhaps both things are true.
So ask yourself, what are the real consequences of freedom in a trapped world? Is it worth it?

Fall 2020 Production - Twelve Angry Jurors
De La Salle and Carondelet Theatre Company’s outdoor performance of 12 Angry Jurors is scheduled to run November 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 at 7:15 p.m., under the tent in the quad.
Twelve Angry Jurors Summary
A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry people.
The cast and crew met in cohorts during the 2020 fall semester to bring our community a production set in the pandemic. They constructed plexiglass juror tables and incorporated all of the fears and safety precautions that we face each day. Add to the environment the pressure of determining the fate of an accused 19-year-old boy and we have some powerful theatre.
12 Angry Jurors wrestles with our justice system and the people who determine if one really is innocent until proven guilty.
2020 Spring Production - Guys and Dolls
2020 Spring Musical: Guys & Dolls
Performances Postponed.
New Dates to Be Announced.
For those that already purchased tickets, additional information will be forthcoming.
About the Play
Guys and Dolls is a spectacle of a musical.
Between the large dance numbers, high stakes gambling and soul-saving missionaries, tender moments of truth seep into the lyrics of the average guy and the average doll.
Several conflicts set the musical in motion: Missionaries attempt to convert the lost souls of Broadway — gamblers. Nathan Detroit needs to secure a location for his floating crap game. The charming Sky Masterson tries to convince a straight-laced missionary to agree to go to Havana. The solutions to these problems are all intermingled in this romantic comedy against the backdrop of 1930’s Broadway.
Expect fedoras, feathers and tons of dice!
Run Time: 2.5 hours with intermission

2019 Fall Production - She Kills Monsters
2019 Fall Play: SHE KILLS MONSTERS
About the Play
Set in the 1990’s, the stage-combat filled, comedic play She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes, a senior in high school, who stumbles into a dungeon and dragons game written by her deceased little sister. Agnes discovers that her little sister created a fantasy world that mirrored her experiences of her real world. She turned them into a game of D & D. Bullies became monsters. Friends became warriors and heroes. The little sister became the mighty Paladin in search of her lost soul longing to be found. By the end of the play, the audience may wonder who the real monsters are. High school students Or Fantastical Dragons? Or in some small way… each and every one of us. If each of us can be a monster, can’t each of us also choose to become the hero?

SHE KILLS MONSTERS - Please note that all roles are open to all people. If you see a part that you think you can make amazing, go for it. Please prep a monologue from below -
Tilly – a queer teenage girl obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons. Smart, sarcastic and strong but underneath an insecure, bullied girl
Agnes – Tilly’s older “average” sister, a high school cheerleader who learns about her younger sister’s life by reading her diary
Lilith- Demon Queen, Tilly’s girlfriend, powerful, beautiful and bloodthirsty
Lily (Human Lilith) - High School friend of Tilly.
Kaliope- Dark Elf, master tracker, lock-picker, intelligent and above emotions
Kelly (Human Kaliope) - Tilly’s BFF. Suffers from Cerebal Palsy
Orcus- Overlord of the Underworld, a mellow, surfer-type, giant, red demon
Ronnie (Human Orcus) - Tilly’s BFF suffers a mild case of Aspebergers.
Chuck- a nerdy teenager, serves as the games’ Dungeon Master, desperately tries to be cool Miles- Agnes’ boyfriend, struggles with commitment, smart jock
Vera- Agnes’ best friend who works at the Gap!, brash, sarcastic and unhelpful
5 Steves- D&D adventurers who continually appears and die multiple times
Farah- A cute fairy who is a violent, vicious, badass fighter
Evil Gabbi & Tina – vampire cheerleaders who bully Tilly in the game and in life THEY DANCE.
Kobalds, Bugbears, Tiamat the Dragon - various monsters, lots of combat and puppetry
I need FIVE - TEN cast members ready to learn stage combat and fight as monsters. These cast members could also double as human versions of the adventurers. The Flinds must be able to jump several feet - fully costumed - off mini trampolines. These ensemble parts are nothing to scoff at. They lead our fantasy, and will be the reason our show is awesome.
ALL Auditioners will participate in a dance battle to Gonna Make you Sweat by C+C Music Factory. It will look exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqWKOJ6QHfk
Welcome to 1995.
She Kills Monsters Audition Sides - Please choose one, this does not need to be memorized. You may also be asked to read a scene from the script.
Agnes: Do want to know what my memories of Tilly are? They’re of this little nerdy girl who I never talked to, who I ignored, who I didn’t understand because she didn’t live in the same world as I did. Her world was filled with evil jello molds and lesbian demon queens while mine…had George Michael and leg warmers. I didn’t get her. I assumed I would one day-that she’d grow out of all this-that I’d be able to sit around and ask her about normal things like clothes and TV shows and boys…and as it turns out, I didn’t even know she didn’t like boys. I didn’t know her. That breaks my heart. And now all I have left is this stupid piece of paper and this stupid made up adventure about killing a stupid made up dragon.
Tilly: Are you judging them? I know they’re geeky, I’m geeky, we’re all geeks. Everyone else cared that I was geeky. They never let me forget it. I mean until I died in a car crash and then suddenly, wow, I’m the most popular girl in school. Why do we play? We play because it’s awesome. It’s about adventures and saving the world and having magic. And maybe, in some small teeny capacity, I guess it might have a little to do with wish fulfillment. Kelly gets to walk again and Ronnie gets to be super strong and me? I get the girl.
Farrah: Look, you overgrown sack of stupid, just cause I’m pretty don’t mean I won’t break your face. Seriously, did you see a sign on the way in here that said “Petting Zoo”? Then don’t try to touch me! Now get out of my magically enchanted forest, freakzoids. Nice? Do I sound Canadian to you? Ain’t no one gonna be nice all the fairy time. Faeries are happy. No one said nice. HAP-PY. And I’m brimming like mad with some magical happiness. And guess what makes me happiest? Laying the smackdown on any lame adventurers who decide to trespass on my magically enchanted forest!
Lillith: The Elf is correct, love. You indeed made Agne’s the Asshatted’s love companion into a big cube of demonic gelatin. Though I find you monocking your sister incredibly sexy, shouldn’t we, you know, kill this giant cube of jello before it kills us? Tillius - You always know, you have my blade.
Kaliope: What’s wrong Agnes the Asshated? By the droop of your shoulders and your downwards gaze, it would indicate that you troubled somehow. Though we elves may have heightened speed, agility, strength and attractiveness, we’re unfortunatelty lacking in” emotional awareness.” We are above emotion. That’s a human trait.
VERA: Oh come on. Be honest with me, Miles. You don’t care about her. You only care that she’s a cheerleader and you’re a football jock and it fits nicely within your two dimensional high school dating paradigm. You idiot! You’ve been together over a year and all you’ve said to her so far is, “I really really like you.” That girl deserves more than that. More than some jock in oversized jeans. You’re just some dude. And she is Agnes. My Agnes. Your resume has got to be far more impressive than that to impress me.
Chuck: My homies just call me simply DM Biggs cause, you know, I’m “big” where it counts. As in MY BRAIN! Not because I’m fat. Seriously, it really has nothing to do with body mass index, I’m actually in pretty good shape and my D&D IQ is da bomb! What? You were expecting some near? Cause I’m no nerd. I’m a straight up lady-killah! Yeah, I got a girlfriend! She’s not from here though. She lives up in New York and you know what they say about them New York honey’s – them girlies are cray cray! Well, we haven’t officially met….I mean, in person. We met on the internet. You’ve been on the intern, right? Have you ever been to New York? I’ve been there. Seen the Statue of Liberty. Empire State building. Hard Rock Café. Pretty awesome.
Orcus: Man, you’re gonna make me miss Quantum Leap! Have you ever seen Quantum Leap? The dude time travels…through time…by leaping INTO different bodies. Different BODIES, yo, and putting things right that once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home. But for YOU, to be able to face the Tiamat, you must fight and defeat all three of its guardians, the Big Bosses of New Landia. And each one of them are totally badass so – most likely- one if not all of you will die before you get there. So, yeah, you gotta do that….OR we can chill out in my cave and rock us some Thursday Night Must-See TV! Who’s feeling me? No? Really, none of you guys are into ER?
Narrator (and Monster): In a time before Facebook, Worlds of Warcraft and Massive Multiplayer Online RPG’s, there once existed simply a game. Forged by the hands of nerds, crafted in the minds of geeks, and so advanced in its advanciness it would take a whole second edition to contain all its mighty geekery. And here in the land of Ohio during the year of 1995, one of the rarest types of geeks walked the earth. A Dungeon Master without fear, prejudice, or a penis. This nerd was a girl-nerd, the most uncommon form of nerd in the world and her name was Tilly Evans. But this story isn’t about her. This story is about her sister Agnes, the girl who never left home.
Miles: (to freshman) Okay, man. Who are you? Why are you here? Whoa… You are my girlfriend’s “secret friend”? Hold up. She didn’t tell you about me. Look. I don’t even know what you’re talking about. But I do know it probably means I’m gonna have to kick your ass. Right here. Right now. Le’s Go.
(Later to Vera) Hey, can I talk to you for a minute? I need advice. Agnes is chetating on me with a freshman. You’re fine with your best friend fooling around with a fish? Fish. Freshman. Same thing. What do I do? I don’t want to break up with her. You don’t think I appreciate her? You think I’m standing here in the middle of The Gap fighting with her best friend because I just think she’s “cute”? Are you crazy? Of course I “L-Bomb” her. But, Vera, she lost her sister. There’s other things on her mind than me. I’ve just been taking it slow. For her. You’re not the only person in the world who wants to protect her. (Beat) Doesn’t matter either way, because she’s now dating a freshman.
The Evil (Bully-Dancing) cheerleaders are taunting Tilly. Make them EVIL.
Evil Gabbi: I think the reason why she was looking at you, Evil Tina, is because she has the hots for you. Tilly shakes her head no.
Evil Tina: You don’t have the hots for me? So, are you saying I am ugly?
Evil Gabbi: Sorry, Evil Tina is just so sentitive about her looks. Tilly shakes her head no
Evil Tina. Then, you do think I’m pretty. Well, of course you think I’m pretty... dyke!
Evil Gabbi: She doesn’t mean to be mean to you. I like you. I do. Do you want to join our club? The awesome Evil Club?
Evil Tina: Okay. Sit right here and don’t turn around. Tina and Gabbi gigggle. Gabbi crosses to Tilly.
Evil Gabbi: Okay. All you have to do to get into the awesome Evil Club is makeout with me for one whole minute.

2019 Spring Play: Pygmalion
2019 Spring Play: PYGMALION (by Bernard Shaw)
The students of De La Salle and Carondelet created a contemporary version of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Is this dramatic work still relevant 100 years later? With a fresh set of 2019 costumes and set designs, we think so.
About the Play - Pygmalion
Living in poverty and struggling from day to day can be very difficult. Most of us, if given the opportunity, would try to make changes to our lives and our situation. Pygmalion tells the story of a poor, young street girl who has been disrespected and overlooked because of her punk appearance and the dialect she speaks. When she overhears a bragging professor claim he could turn her into a duchess, she dares him to do so. The outcome of her training is not what she expected, and she is not only able to change her appearance and speech, but also gain confidence in her self worth.

2018 Fall Musical: Dogfight
2018 Fall Musical: DOGFIGHT (PG-13)
About the Musical
Dogfight chronicles the last evening of six Marines before they depart to Vietnam. They host a "dogfight" which is a contest to see who can bring the "ugliest" girl. The story then unfolds as our protagonist comes to realize he has real feelings for Rose, the girl he chose to subject to this humiliation. Rose is the example of compassion and empathy that is the heart of the production.
This show asks questions about mob-mentality effects, entitled actions, standing up to friends, and surviving in a world of war and returning home. Although it is an upbeat and fun musical, there is an undertone of layered seriousness that could be mistaken if not seen with mature eyes, therefore the PG-13 rating.
Dogfight deals with sexual harassment, objectification, and abuse. Our theatre program decided to join forces with our Mentors in Violence Prevention program on campus and bring awareness to these issues, that our students face in high school and beyond. Our production is intended to spark tough conversations, not provide answers.

2018 Spring Musical: Little Shop of Horrors
Spring 2018 Musical: Little Shop of Horrors
About the Musical:
Little Shop of Horrors is a dark comedy. The action opens in Mushnik's Flower Shop, a failing store on Skid Row. The few plants in stock are, like their surroundings, rundown and fading. There, we meet Mr. Mushnik and his two employees, Audrey and the nerdish Seymour Krelborn, who secretly has a crush on his beautiful-but-much-abused co-worker. Seymour brings a strange plant to the flower shop, and business begins to bloom. Seymour's sudden success comes with a price. The plant, which he names Audrey II after his co-woker, demands to be fed human blood. Ultimately, however, Seymour’s natural goodness begins to make him think about his lifestyle and what he must do to maintain it.
Is it too late for him?
2017 Fall Production - The Outsiders
The Outsiders
The Outsiders tells the story of two teen groups whose poisonous rivalry stems from socioeconomic differences. They judge. They stereotype. They viciously act on an unidentified anger that is grounded in hatred and catapulted by misunderstanding. De La Salle’s theme this year is Respect for All Persons. This play is about what it means when a person does not belong to a particular group. In this play – who is the outsider?
That depends on your perspective.
Both groups demonstrate loyalty. Both groups live by a moral code. Both groups experience fear, love and sorrow. We chose this play because, really, aren’t each of us on the “outside” of something based on another person’s perspective?
As audience members we will see both of these groups of teens do horrible and compassionate things to one another. We will champion and pity. Through Ponyboy's eyes we find that the telling of the tale – the thoughtful intent of sharing our worlds – reveals that all people must come to terms with fear, love and sorrow. We don’t always do it the best way we can. We fail. We forgive. We learn. We “re-see” or respect from a new perspective.
This November S.E. Hinton’s Ponyboy shares the story of his experiences with us on the Brother Celestine Cormier Stage. We’d love to see you in the theatre!
