Extreme Theater 2009

By Meridian • November 15th, 2009

Upper and Middle School drama students spent 24 jam-packed hours brainstorming, writing, rehearsing, and performing original plays in this year’s Extreme Theater held November 13-14. This year’s groups faced the additional challenge of including a catch phrase as a significant part of the script and a specific objective for a cast member in each group.

To Err is Human, to Fail is Tom Thompson
Phrase: “Be all that you can be”
Objective: To win a contest.
Synopsis: Poor Tom Thompson struggles to find something he can be successful at; he enters a beauty pageant, tries out for a girls basketball team, and competes in a piano competition, encouraged by a local drifter who encourages him to “be all that you can be.”

Sunshine, Lollipops, & Rainbows
Phrase: “Where the beef?”
Objective: To meet a president.
Synopsis: Sweet little Molly just wants a “normal” bedtime story, but Dad can’t let go of the idea of adding zombies to every fairy tale. From “Little Red Riding Hood and the Zombies” to “Hansel and Gretel and the Zombies” to Good Night Zombie” to “President Zombie,” fearsome zombies permeate every story and squash Molly’s hopes of a peaceful night’s sleep.

The Dress Robber
Phrase: “We make money the old-fashioned way….we earn it.”
Objective: To stop a robbery.
Synopsis: A concerned dress shop owner frets over recent robberies in the area when she is asked to make a dress for the celebrity Lady Ruby. The owner and her workers lay down plans to prevent the sneaky robber from making off with any of their creations in the nick of time.

P.R.O.M.
Phrase: “Don’t leave home without it.”
Objective: To become PROM king.
Synopsis: High school couples compete in a game show to see who will become P.R.O.M. king and queen. The jocks, the brains, the popular ones, and the regulars….all have a chance at greatness in this competition.

The Great Escape
Phrase: “It’s all inside.”
Objective: To marry a celebrity.
Synopsis: Elderly Mr. Stevenson schemes to find an escape from his rest home where the highlight of each day is bingo.

Meet the Robinsons
Phrase: “Can you hear me now?”
Objective: To teach someone a lesson.
Synopsis: The Robinsons welcome home their daughter and her fiance while trying to deal with a hard-of-hearing and paranoid elderly parent.
