The stage is set.

The Coupeville High School Wolf PAC Theatre Troupe grabs the spotlight the next two weeks, as it presents “Choices – an Evening of One-Act Plays.”

You get three plays for the price of one, with shows set for Nov. 4, 5, 10 and 12, with a 7 PM curtain time in the school’s performing arts center.

And yes, before you run to your calendar, those dates are correct.

While the first shows hit on a traditional Friday/Saturday schedule, week two bumps the Friday show to Thursday.

This is because the troupe has five members who are pulling double duty in the school’s honor band and choir.

Ticket prices are:

Adults – $6.00
Senior citizens (62 or older) – FREE
Coupeville students (grades 6-12) without ASB – $6.00
Coupeville students (grades 6-12) with ASB – FREE
Coupeville students (K-5) – $4.00
Visiting students with ASB – $4.00
Preschool with adult – FREE

You can also get a family deal for $15, which covers one adult and four children or two adults and two children.

This production, unlike some others, is aimed at a slightly older audience.

“I personally do not recommend this show for younger children – mostly because it would “go over their heads”,” said CHS drama advisor Peg Tennant. “I do recommend parents of middle schoolers come with their children – all three plays provide food for good conversation.”

The plays are “My Daily Life” (choices have consequences), “Fried Dough Girl” (choices have costs) and “The High School Drama” (choices can change).

Bree Daigneault
