“Here Come the Clowns” Many times the one-act plays presented by different drama classes at PCHS receive very little recognition. Four one-act plays from Mrs. Worley’s drama classes com¬ pleted in a One-Act Play Foren¬ sics competition. The top win¬ ner in the county was “Ladies of the Tower”, a dramatic pre¬ sentation put on by Drama II. In March the group traveled to district competition to perform the original script to the play “Here Come the Clowns”. The musical comedy won the Dis¬ tinguished Participant Award. The participants were Patty Lewis, Carolyn Harrell, Alice Redd, Kenneth Beckett, Mi¬ chelle Clement, Karen Helms, Janet Ore, Shannon Hill, and Hope Hill. The play went on to represent the county again in regional competition at Wil¬ liam Byrd High School. The three other plays that competed in the One-Act Play Forensics competition were as follows: “The Ugly Duckling”, a comedy presented by fourth period Drama I, “Whistle Stop”, and “The Puppet Mas¬ ter”, both produced by fifth pe¬ riod Drama I. In mid-November, the senior class brought two hours of edu¬ cational entertainment to the student body, “Twelve Angry Jurors”, a dramatic play, in¬ volved twelve jurors who must decide the consequence of a nineteen-year old male accused of murdering his father. With the help of several back-stage crews and committees, Mrs. Lynn Worley produced another successful play. The crowd grows tense as two clowns balance themselves on the tight rope. It takes just one clown to start something and soon everyone joins in. 8 Plays
