The moment thespians had been anticipating finally happened. The students had been working non-stop every day after school to prepare for and perfect the fall play.

This year they performed three one acts in a show called A Night of Comedy from Nov. 16th-18th.

After four years of performing on a makeshift stage in the cafeteria. The thespians finally got to perform on Liberty’s very own stage in the brand new auditorium.

“We’ve been anticipating this moment for so long,” junior Christian Tebeau said. “We are so blessed and excited to be performing on our very own stage. It’s such a humbling feeling to see how much this program has grown in just a few years.”

Although it wasn’t the first production held on the stage, it was still such a huge step into the future of Liberty’s growing theater program.

“The best part is working with such amazing and talented people,” junior Paxton Linnemeyer said, who is a three-year drama club member. “We have all become a big family and I am so excited for everyone to see our amazing finished product. Out of all the productions we have done so far, I am most excited for this one.”

The play consisted of many wacky characters and a hilarious monologue that had the audience laughing until their stomachs ached. However, the play would be nothing without the hard work that the director, Mrs. Willis, has put into this production.

“Mrs. Willis has done such an amazing job with directing and putting the play together,” junior Braden McMakin said. “She has such an amazing passion for what she does and it definitely does not go overlooked. We all really hope to make her proud, she has worked so hard and put so much time and energy into this production, she truly deserves the best. We could not do it without her.”

The play was a wonderful display of hard work and talent and succeeded expectations.
