The party of the year can have serious consequences.

The Honors Studio Theatre class will perform a showcase this Thursday and Friday at 7:30pm in the drama room, free of charge. The show, After Party, is about the lives of many people throughout the town the day after a huge party.

“The show is about this boy named Jack, and he gets alcohol poisoning at a party,” Amelia Ablan, junior, said. “You never see him, but you see all these scenes about how that event affected everyone around him, including the coach of the football team, all his friends, his sister, his girlfriend.”

The show is a piece entirely unique to the Honors Studio Theatre class, and it is independently run by the students.

“The student directors of the class wrote the show and they cast the actors from the class to do it,” Ablan said. “It’s an original piece, so [there is] more of a student-based class. We created the show how we wanted it, not how [David] Harmon, [drama teacher,] told us to.”

The scenes are structured as separate moments between several people that connect to form a larger narrative.

“All the scenes take place with two people in it, and then those two people are done, and it goes from different people and different times,” Ablan said. “I think it’s kind of cool because I haven’t seen everybody’s scene all the way through finished, so it’s cool to see their scene and what they did.”

The students also produced a trailer to preview the event, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cgDkPEucnc.
