When making the attempt to appreciate the high art of theatre, the average drama enthusiast looks for enjoyment through structure, plot, and technique, and goes to be fooled into thinking what they are witnessing on that stage is reality. I found “Play On!” to be a gem as far as high school theatre goes. After attending the first two performances, I was able to see the creativity both the directors and actors exhibited as the play progressed. Upon arriving opening night, I was taken aback by the set. To be blunt, I found the set design to be artfully satisfying! As far as the actual performance went, I was extremely impressed. Powerful performances from the characters: Billy, Saul, frustrated director Gerry and the eccentric playwright Phyllis had me and the audience very often. Along with them was a superb cast called by directors Joseph Hoyt and Abby Augustine. “Play On!” captures the creative process by inserting constant changes in the script and gives insight into the harsh reality that is performance. I found that from the moment the curtain opened, to the thundering conclusion, you are taken on a journey that will leave you laughing in some parts, irritated in others, and sympathetic to the struggles many in the preforming realm have to deal with. That’s what a great production will do to the drama-lover, it will reach into their emotions and bring out the best (and the worst) in everyone who takes the time to appreciate it. A job well done to the cast and crew of the play, and all I can say is: PLAY ON!
