WHS Drama Gearing Up For The View From Sunset Towers

The Whitehall High School Drama group, along with several Whitehall Middle School and Whitehall area homeschool students, is pleased to announce their upcoming performance of The View From Sunset Towers. The play will be performed at 6:30 PM on both March 16 and 17. Tickets are $5 per person.

The View from Sunset Towers is quite amazing, and a view that many of us may experience in our own lives. You see, Sunset Towers is much like our local Meadowlark Manor, an assisted living facility that homes many stories within its walls - stories and memories of the good times, the highlights of one's life, and more.

We would like to introduce you to a few of the residents of Sunset Towers, just briefly, to acquaint yourselves with their stories to be told on March 15 and 16 at 6:30 PM in the Whitehall High School Multi-purpose room.

Sparky and Doris (seniors Maddox Kidwell and Kyra Oliverson) are off to jet-set over land and sea to experience the world after Sparky gets some medical news.

Sarah (sophomore Aletheia Martin) is itching to begin dating again but must make sure that her mother (senior Leita Wetherelt) is taken care of.

Clarence (junior Jakin Cheuvront) is reminiscing of his days on the Hollywood soundstage catwalks where he frequently partook in one-armed push-up contests with Elvis Presley (senior Colton Prevost).

Dorothy (senior Ashley Lafferty) helps her daughter Margie (Oliverson) price items from her failed marriage as they prepare for a garage sale, all the while wondering if she made a mistake letting her own marriage go to Harold (8th grader Gunner South).

Helen (freshman Addisyn Gray), a bank teller who believes no one thinks she's a real person since she's only visible from the waist up, divulges a secret in regard to her customer crush, Mr. Gibbs (8th grader Levi Fuller).

Camilla (senior Emily Smith) makes a change after the death of her husband Arthur (8th grader Brooks Ressler) but decides against it, making her own choice. Later Camilla obsesses over Karen (8th grader Jaeden Aragon) in the park, wondering about what motivates her and hoping to make a new friend.

Jackie (Martin) realizes Jason (junior Keagan Graham) isn't her former husband and is truly a good guy, and lets go of the past.

"This is a play that should resonate, in one way or another, with everyone who attends," said Elizabeth Pullman, WHS drama instructor. "The kids have put a lot of time and effort into the set, the costumes, their lines, and really capturing their characters for a powerful impact.

The play is directed by Pullman, with assistance from lighting expert, WHS freshman Sawyer Osbourne.

Please plan to attend one or both of the showings of The View From Sunset Towers, at 6:30 PM in the Whitehall High School Mutli-purpose room on March 15th and 16th.
