The Butler Did It!

Whew! I made it! While some of you may be thinking, "Oh, she made it to the end of the school year, I unfortunately have to tell you that I still have two weeks to go. No, instead, I made it to the end of the play. This past Friday (May 23, 2014) was the performance for ICS's spring play, The Butler Did It!, that I directed. We had a cast of 9 and a crew of 4, for a grand total of 13 students involved. It was the perfect size for our school, with a minimum of sets and props required (including no set changes). The students and I worked hard on the play throughout the semester, and it definitely paid off on Friday. The students did a fantastic job! They overcame issues of memorization and not being in character to put on a great show for the audience!

The Butler Did It! is a murder mystery play with a dash of comedy. The comedy mainly comes in through the clever, well-written lines. Full of word play and quirky characters, the play kept the audience laughing the entire time. I'd tell you more, but I don't want to ruin the play. You'll just have to watch it yourself (hopefully a video of the play will be posted online soon).

In the meantime, you'll have to content yourself with the few pictures below. For more pictures, see Facebook. Spoiler Alert: The pictures on Facebook give away who the murderer is. If you don't want to know, don't look!
