International Thespian Society Troupe 4779

2008-2009 Admiral Theatre Season

            Dairy Queen Days
                           September 24-26, 2008

The Rev. Joe Pike Moseley believes there is something spiritual about the local DQ.  Trout, his son, is trying, at age 16, to figure out who he is while everything around him seems to becoming unhinged.  He finds refuge working at the local Dairy Queen where he must find a way to save himself, become his own person, and move on with his life.  Dairy Queen Days has good characters, a good coming-of-age story, and good ol' Southern Realism.  Sort of.   GHS Director of Theatre, Larry Hart, joins his student actors onstage as Rev. Joe Pike Moseley.


           A Christmas Story
                            December 10-12, 2008

"You'll shoot your eye out kid!"  All the elements from the beloved movie are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boy's experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning the "leg lamp" and much more.  True to the movie and a wonderful evening of live theatre! 


               Bone Chiller
                               March 4-6, 2009

Thirteen people gather on Friday the 13th at the Traver's mansion for the reading of Josiah's will which is a wall chart rendered in the form of a rebus (a part word, part drawing puzzle) that almost defies solution.  Instead of designating an heir, it offers the estate to anyone who can solve the will!  The lights keep going out and people keep getting murdered.  The audience will have a blast trying to figure out the puzzle faster than the hapless characters of this fun whodunit.


           Who's Dying To Be 
               A Millionaire?
                                April 1-3, 2009

"Answer this next question and win a million dollars!" bellows Reginald Smarmy, the oily host of the hottest game show in town.  But what can anyone do when a confident and poised contestant responds correctly to a challenging question... and immediately falls down dead?!  Contestants are dropping as fast as the wisecracks in this wild, riotous lampoon of quiz shows, politics and basic human nature.

 

School Wide Open Auditions

GHS Admiral Theatre will feature two shows that will be cast via school wide open auditions.  Parts in the very popular A Christmas Story and in the hilarious Who's Dying To Be A Millionaire? will be made available to all GHS students.  Both of these shows have been previously performed at GHS in years gone by and thirlled packed houses.  This season's performances should be no different.  Students do not have to take Theatre class or have any experience to audition.  "I'm looking for the best cast I can put together and if you've ever wanted to be in a play, here's your chance to try out!" said director Larry Hart.
