The Bonney Lake High School Drama Club performed “The Mouse That Roared” over the weekend, despite problems with the weather and school closures.
Director and drama teacher Brenda Williams said the three performances went off as scheduled and were well attended. Friday and Saturday performances were at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center in Sumner and there was one performance Sunday at 2 p.m.
“It went really well, especially considering the snow and Seahawks game,” Williams said. “They really pulled if off and did a great job.”
Williams said the play was cast in October and the students had been rehearsing after school. The cast ranged from freshman to seniors.
In the lead roles were Sarah Martin as Gloriana and Connor Hagen as Tully Bascom.
Williams said the next play for the club will be the musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” scheduled for March 23, 24 and 25.
Many of the same actors will appear in the next production, with about 10 more added, according to Williams.
