Extra Credit- Student Plays

I think it is very cool how two people from our school wrote the plays and directed them. I think Elise Lockwood’s plays were very good and that she is very gifted.

The first play was about a girl named Kristen (played by Elise V.), who had two dads. Her dads were very loving and caring. She normally did not tell people how she had two dads because then she would get made fun of for it. One day she met a girl named Maggie (played by Tina) and became best friends with her. Maggie had a mom and a dad, but they were getting a divorce. At the end of the play, Maggie starts to like Kristen and paints a picture of her and kisses her. The audience is left in suspense whether or not Kristen and Maggie will be in a relationship or not. I think Elise Vreede and Tina were very brave to act these roles out.

The second play was about an audition for a role. The judge (played by Ian) was very picky and kept putting down the actors who were trying out for the part. Even when Brad Pitt came to try out for the role, the judge turned him down and said he did not like him.

The third play was about a bookseller (played by JP), who knew many quotes from books. He received a story from this girl named Rory (played by Elise L.). The story made him puzzled. Everyone in the end of the book died and the characters were like those of other books besides this one character. The bookseller went mad trying to figure the character out. The ending confused me a bit and I wasn’t paying close enough attention throughout the play to get the ending. However, after talking with some people, we thought that the puzzling character in the story was the actual bookseller. He was the murder of the other characters.

The fourth play was about these two men (played by Tony and Daniel) who supposedly created everything on Earth. They made up God, Jesus, the whole story of Noah and the Arc, and heaven. They were the makers, not God. They were originally going to call God dog. They came up with the name Jesus when one of the men was thinking and he just said “Jesus” out of frustration. For people who are very religious, this play could have been offensive.
