Paris Cooperative High School’s new class at this year is the Theatre Arts class. This class is taught by Mr. Dan Lynch, the drama coordinator. This Theatre Arts class is for juniors and seniors only, and helps them improve their acting skills. They’ve recently been working on making a recreation of the Twilight Zone.
All of the students were assigned parts from the original Twilight Zone script. Millie Arp, a senior, was one of the main characters, Jessebelle. Gretta Patrick, a senior, played Elewyn. Drew Harper was Billy Ben. Rachel Givins played Ossie. Thomas Welsh, also a senior, played Luther. Hannah King, a junior, played Maddie. Olivia Underwood played Granny Harts. Eric Piper, also a junior, was the sound guy.
Those were just some of the students who participated. They took the old scripts from the original Twilight Zone, and they practiced their parts, then they recorded themselves doing it.
“It was harder to do the Twilight Zone, rather than act in a play, or musical because they have to stay focused more,” said Millie Arp a senior in the class. The Twilight Zone is mainly about Jessebelle, the main character. She goes to Granny Hart for her to put a spell on her so that a boy, who she likes, will fall in love with her.
“It was fun to recreate,” said Issac Staub, a junior in the class.
The videos the recorded will also be on the school website soon, on Mr. Dan Lynch’s blog.
