‘BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE’ WAS A HIT WITH AUDIENCE GreenwoodandLoyalhighschools’combinedtheaterdepartment performed “Bringing Down the House” on April 4, 5, and 6. Todd Wallinger’s fast-paced comedy was a hit with audiences! “Bringing Down the House” follows three aspiring musical theater creators—Jules, Sydney, and Elliot—who have big dreams of premiering their new show for Broadway investors. But when they arrive at their _irst rehearsal, they discover an unexpected twist: the building they rented is scheduled for demolition the very next day! With no time to spare and no money to secure another venue, the team has just two hours to throw a show together. As they scramble to rehearse, things go from bad to worse, thanks to a steady stream of interruptions threatening to derail their plans. The cast and crew of 22 began rehearsing in January to prepare for the production. Under the direction of Erik Adams, Stephanie Glaser, and Kelsey Hoverson, students from both schools brought the chaotic world of last-minute theater to life with energy, humor, and heart. The audience laughed throughout the performance at the play’s quirky characters, surprise gags, and over-the-top situations.
