Performances start at 7 p.m. and tickets are $8. One dollar from every ticket sold will go toward the purchase of new microphones, according to Director Dana McAfee. Donations also will be accepted to go toward the microphones.
If school is cancelled due to weather, the plays will be moved to Tuesday.
The WCHS Drama Department is presenting six one-act plays.
The first is “Courting 101,” a seminar on dating, according to a description provided by McAfee.
Written by Yuri Baranovsky, it stars Sam Reynolds as the professor, Brock Hogenson as Mark, Hailey Hershberger as Melody, Ella Doyle as audience member 1/Samantha, Jennifer Straits as audience member 2/waitress and Cayla Harris as Patrick. Directors are Heather Rickert, Hope Struck and Sydney Victa.
“Rapunzel Uncut” is about a narrator trying to tell the “real story” of Rapunzel.
Written by Mariah Everman, Erika Kelly plays narrator 1, Adalyn Chappell is narrator 2, Cami Brown is mother, Jordan Norris is father, Vanessa Ochoa is witch, Davin Broadhurst is prince, Natalie Oler is Rapunzel and Meghan Fresh and Olivia Gabrich are townspersons. It is directed by Megan Stevenson and Jasmine Stroup.
The third one-act play is “I’m A Teenager Get Me Out of this Family,” written by Jim Garvey. Two teenagers fight with their parents, and both the parents and kids audition for replacements.
