Woodinville High School Theatre Presents: The Play That Goes Wrong

​​

This Spring the Woodinville High School Theatre Company (WHSTC) is thrilled to bring you The Play That Goes Wrong, a laugh-out-loud murder mystery farce, in the style of a Monty Python meets Sherlock Holmes play-within-a-play. The Play That Goes Wrong, written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, follows a company of actors trying to perform a 1920s murder mystery called The Murder at Haversham Manor, but things are quickly going from awkward to bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s an explosion of comedy that presents tons of fun for all ages! The show will run April 24 -26, and May 1 - 3, at 7:00 pm, in the Woodinville High School Theater.

​

Though carefully choreographed, every single time the show is performed, something new and unexpected is bound to happen, keeping both audience and cast members on their toes. Expect a few improvised surprises which will bring a bit of magic to each performance.

​

The cast of this production is comprised of 20 advanced Woodinville High School Theatre Company students, including seniors Michael Ahlstrom, Adrian Avadanei, Ellie Bunn, Mateo Cabral, Fell Gutierrez, Lucas Harrison, Jessica Karczeski, Beckett Lingg, Ray Liu, Ginger Milbrodt, Brennan Morgan, Sophia Pajaro, Amogh Patil, and Lucy Wheelwright. Many of the technical aspects of the show, everything from set building, lights, and sound to publicity, are handled by crews of students from the WHS Technical Theatre program. Senior technical theatre students include Willa Ruemping (Stage Manager & Co-Assistant Student Director), Fell Gutierrez (Co-Assistant Student Director), Kara van den Heuvel & Niamh Dobey (Technical Director and Deck Manager), Anden Walker (Lighting Director), Jessica Karczeski (Production Coordinator), Fell Gutierrez and Mateo Cabral (Costumers), Luke Harrison and Ellie Robb (Master Carpenters), Sasha Olson and Julia Fawal (Props Heads), Lauren Parker, Beckett Lingg, Lucy Harris and Angie Divine (Hair and Makeup), Liv Kjielstrup and Ria Mandsaurwale (House Managers), and Megan Barker and Amogh Patil (Publicity).

​

The show is directed and designed by Josh Butchart. All productions of the Woodinville High School Theater Company are designed, developed, and produced by Katharina Bomers-Muller (Producer), Marsha Stueckle & Karen Severson (Costumes), Stephanie Penoyer (Production Coordinator), Steve Cooper (Lights), and the Woodinville Drama Boosters, led by Kate Gutierrez. Additional support is provided by the Northshore Performing Arts Center staff, led by Marc King.

​

We hope you will come out and see this wonderful Woodinville High School Theatre Company production and support our students, as they will deliver a hilarious evening of mishaps, laughter, and improv.
