Faribault High School Play Cast Members on AM Minnesota 11-16-2015

Faribault High School juniors Joe Werdan and Emily Beckmann and sophomore Brody Kucera will be on the KDHL AM Minnesota program to talk about the FHS adaptation of A-Haunting We Will Go.

It's billed as a mystery-comedy and Faribault High School Theatre Department Director Paul Johnson tells me they've played up the mystery and played down the comedy in this show.

A-Haunting We Will Go, by Tim Kelley, will run November 19-22. The 19th is ASL interpreted and the 20th and 21st are all at 7:30 PM; the 22nd is a 2PM matinee. All performances are at the Michael J. Hanson Performing Arts Center. Tickets are general seating and are $7 for adults, $4 for students and $5 for college students with an ID.

The young television producer Norma Corwin made a childhood vow that once in her life she would spend a night alone in The Inn of the Three Sisters. The inn is an eerie and forbidding hotel famous for an unresolved murder, horrifying spirit manifestations and murderous intrigue. When Norma learns the inn is to be destroyed to make way for a new highway, she decides the time is now (or never) and the fun begins.

A number of uninvited "guests" arrive to add more mystery: spiritualist Madame Lugosi; a serviceman who says he's lost his way; a mysterious young woman who comes to warn Norma that she's in great danger; and the spirits of the three young sisters who are cursed to relive their sister’s murder each night at the hands of their handyman Flint.

There are 23 students in the cast, along with another 26 working tech from the lighting, sound, and building to wardrobe, props and painting the set.

I'm looking forward to visiting with the cast members and hope you can tune in at 9:30AM.
