The Game Is On....


Here at Berkshire school we are off to a great start with the upcoming show of Scrutiny. This is another unique and spectacular show to be performed on Berkshire campus October 30th, 31st and November 1st.  This play is similar to the Fall original play last year, Plans. Just like that show this piece is an original play written by Mr. Howard and his students that we’re presently hard at work reconstructing. The play is now set on a game show called Scrutiny, one in which no contestant can ever hope to win! The eight contestants on the show go through some very emotional, strenuous, and ridiculous games as we paint a picture for you of adolescent life. Along with the contestants is Mr. R, the father of one of the teenagers and also a former contestant himself. Also, onstage is a trio of harsh judges meticulously grading the student contestants’ every move. Lastly, there is a duo of hosts guiding you through the entire night’s episode, one of which is played by myself.

Being a new student here at Berkshire I can say without bias that the process in Berkshire’s theater department is professional, fun, and creative. We are enjoying ourselves every day of rehearsal as we go through the script and scenes putting together these pieces in an entirely new and unforgettable way.
