MHS Drama Club fall play, ‘12 Angry Villains,’ a hit with audiences
The Mexico High School Drama Club took the stage Nov. 6 and 7 for its fall production of “12 Angry Villains.”
Audiences both nights were filled with laughter and amusement during the one-act play, held in the school’s Avery Skinner Auditorium.
The production, a comedy written by Jason Pizzarello, brings together some of the most recognizable villains in fairy tales and popular stories for a courtroom showdown.
Students at MHS also got to enjoy the play as part of their English curriculum, as the club staged a special edition during school ahead of the show’s opening.
When a jury of notorious characters must decide whether Peter Pan is guilty of murdering Captain Hook, what initially appears to be an open-and-shut case quickly descends into chaos. With conflicting opinions, questionable assumptions and plenty of larger-than-life personalities, reaching a verdict proves to be anything but simple.
The play was directed by Cassie Monnat and featured the following Mexico High School students:
