Theater News
Synopsis: Hold on to your hoverboards, we're taking a trip Back to the 80s! When modern teen Mary Fitzfry gets sent back in time by an eccentric professor, she finds herself in the middle of a totally tubular cavalcade of 80s pop culture. There's a lot of familiar faces, from the teens in breakfast-time detention to the guys chasing ghosts and dancing zombies, but the biggest surprise of all is Mary's own protective mom as a teen. Turns out she's actually kind of rad - but thanks to Mary's time travel, she's in trouble. Can Mary make things right? A hilarious parody to make all ages cheer "I love the 80s!"
The Brookland Thespian Troupe #8299 will be competing in Searcy on November 11 in the Arkansas Thespian One- Act Competition. They will be presenting "And' by Alan Haehnel. The main character grapples with the fact that billions of different moments are happening simultaneously -- the comic next to the tragic, the life-changing next to the mundane--as he deals with his own inner turmoil.
The Brookland Thespian Troupe 8299 recently helped kick off the Elementary "One School, One Book" by performing a skit over "Midas and the Golden Touch".
