Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley

Amanda Foley overflows with talent.

The Coupeville High School senior, who celebrates a birthday today, does a little bit of everything and does it all supremely well.

Cheer, track, drama, band, ASB board and that’s just the start.

When I did a feature story on her in 2013 — https://coupevillesports.com/2013/09/01/cheerleading-isnt-just-short-skirts-and-big-smiles/ — it was easy to see she was a bright, brilliant young woman well on her way to accomplishing great things.

Today, as she nears graduation and plans for success at the next level — college and beyond — Foley remains one of the best this town has to offer.

Right now, as I write this, she is on a bus with her Wolf teammates, headed to another track meet.

I want to wish her the best — at the meet, on her birthday and in her boundless future.

You’re a bright shining star, Amanda.

Keep being yourself. Keep being super awesome.

Promo material for you to gaze upon.

Comedy, intrigue and drama will be fighting for their closeups on stage at Coupeville High School.

The CHS drama troupe opens its fall season with a run of the play “Fair Exchange” starting Friday, Nov. 7.

Performances will be held in the school’s performing arts center (7 PM curtain) for two weekends (Nov. 7-8 and 14-15).

Cost is $6 for adults and all students in grades 6-12 without an ASB. It’s $4 for kids in grades K-5 and free to senior citizens (62+) and Coupeville students in grades 6-12 with an ASB.

“Fair Exchange,” written by Kurtz Gordon, takes place on Long Island in 1959 and tells the story of a student swap between an Ohio high school and a New York high school, Wickapoque High.

Questions arise with the arrival of Ched Armstrong (played by Sebastian Davis), the Ohio exchange student, and the discovery of an unconscious teenager by the highway.

Is Ched really the exchange student who will escort Peggy Wilson (Taryn Ludwig) to the Winter Formal?

Or could he be the notorious gas station robber, Dino Durkin (also essayed by Mr. Davis)?

Questions, drama and laughter ensue as the audience discovers the truth and finds their way to a happy ending.
