New Philadelphia High School proudly presents its fall play, Play On!  This side-splitting comedy will have you rolling in the aisles!

Play On! is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near-disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp

The cast includes Sydney Purcell (Aggie Manville), Olivia Alexander (Gerry Dunbar), Derek Shimek (Henry Benish), Abigail Prucha (Polly Benish), Kate Scott (Marla “Smitty” Smith), Jordi Kopp (Saul Watson), Garin Gingerich (Billy Carewe), Bella Kaput (Violet Imbry), Scarling Hershberger-Budavich (Louise Peary), and Evy Bowers (Phyllis Montague).
