Central High School’s senior directed play is coming up next week! You won’t want to miss Bedlam at the Bermuda B&B directed by seniors Jay Johnson, Gabi Schmidt and Kort Booth.
Showtimes will take place in the Central High School Auditorium on Thursday, May 7 and Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, May 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, CASH ONLY. Students and senior citizens are $5, and adult tickets are $7.
The play synopsis: A cruise ship, hotel, and bed-and-breakfast with similar names become the setting for chaotic, but hilarious, mix-ups in Bermuda. A high school science field trip (in search of a rare medicinal plant), a marching band (performing in a competition that may not exist), a religious retreat (that’s actually a doomsday cult), and a category 5 hurricane (which formed in the Bermuda Triangle) all collide. At the center is Shea, a struggling inn owner trying to hide the chaos from an important B&B influencer whose “Platinum Pillow” review could save—or sink—her business. The play was written by Steven Garvey.
