Staff Writer In the Fall of this year, LJH school’s theater production was set to be the Lorax. Unfortunately the director, Ms. Jackson, had to stop the show to take care of her son. Our savior, Mr. Schnipper, has provided a new play and brought a new directing style to the school. Max is going to give the layout on him. “Mr Schnipper is a new director and I talked to Ms. Gretencort and she said that his resume was pretty awesome he even worked with some celebrities on TV”. When the reporter asked Max what the play was called he said it was “Show and Spell” but the thing that most people want to know is what it’s about. So that’s what Max was asked. “It's basically about these kids learning about the words with their parents and families before, during, and after the bee”. The play is actually much deeper than that. Our reporter went and saw some of their practices and collected that there’s a cheerleader with some personal issues and the daughter of a famous person who is a little obsessed about personal image. In order to get more detail on the show without giving it all away, Max was asked to elaborate on his character. “I am Mr. Lichtensteinberger so I guess I am the father of the really uh smart kid who I guess is a little full of himself.. And I also have a wife." Max was then asked to give detail on his family. “Mrs. Lichtensteinberger is Kalista Mirandas and my son is Dash (Dash is his name in real life) whose name is David (in the play)” So, is the show worth seeing? “The Acting is… working to be being better than middle school quality and the people I'm working with are nice,” explained Max. Not only that but, another member of the press, Patrick Dakin, is part of the stage crew which will join the production in a week or 2. Which also brings up the question of when the play comes out “I think in about three weeks, 4 weeks” according to Max. So go watch Max’s son David (hopefully) win the spelling bee at Show and Spell. |
