It was a busy four nights for the senior drama students of Strathmore High school as they performed the satiric murder mystery ‘The Clock Struck Twelve’, by James Reach, from Nov. 24-27.
“It’s a really funny play, and I [along with my peers], had tons of fun to performing it,” states Jenna Gigantelli, a Grade 12 student who performed in the production.
The two hour farce murder-mystery revolves around a struggling team of singers that find refuge from a storm in a mansion. However, the audience soon finds out that the mansion is not just a mansion, but a haunted mansion with its own mystery. It is through comedic actions, wit, and the fast pace that makes this play thrilling to watch, and has you laughing out loud.
Bronte Eden, Cody Neal, Brandon Skinner, Mack Beech, Madison Gillies, Jenna Gigantelli, Marc Kuntz, Katherine Hatton, Caitlin Tourout, Abby Kauenhoffen, and plenty more dedicated drama students partook in this production, making it a great success for the drama department and proved as a stepping stone for aspiring actors within the drama program.
“I think we have improved immensely throughout the course of the semester, and it really showed during our performances,” says Gigantelli.
It is hoped that the same, if not better, success comes with future Strathmore High School drama productions.
