Grove City High School Drama Department Original Fall Production: Lost & Found Applause: The Guthrie Talks Performing Arts

Art in the Time of Covid: Grove City High School's drama department tackles 2020 in their original monologues in one-act.
This one act play is a collection of original monologues written by and about students at Grove City High School exploring themes of brokenness, loss and redemption in the year 2020. It has been devised entirely by the students in the drama department. From frustrating friendships to philosophical debates inside our own heads; from infuriating political realities to confrontations
with our own limitations, each monologue explores specific human needs, particularly as amplified by the pandemic and events of the past year, reminding us of what everyone would like, but cannot achieve: perfection.
Alex and Lisa had the opportunity to interview three of the production's participants: GCHS Drama Director Patrick McElroy, Student Director Makenna Isles, and senior actor/writer Mary Coulter. We couldn't have been more impressed with these artists' determination to tell their important stories during this difficult year! Clearly, this ensemble has crafted an original and thoughtful view of the struggles, pain, emotions and even humor in a world gone upside down! We're also excited that they have found a way to harness these times and create an original way for us to experience this. Art Always Finds a Way!
We encourage ALL our listeners to watch this production, starting this Thursday, November 19th, 7PM:

Also, during this time, if you are looking for unique opportunities to have a socially-distanced great event, what better plans than to rent the Guthrie Theatre? For information, contact: guthrie@veritasarts.org
Happy Listening!
