St. Luke's Stellar Fall Plays

The first two weekends of November, St. Luke’s Theatre Department presented two terrific productions. St. Luke's Middle School kicked it off with Life in the Middle, a funny and touching play about life as a Middle Schooler based on interviewers from real students. The Upper School kicked it into high gear with its fabulously funny farce of folly Boeing-Boeing. Three madcap performances filled the theater with roars of laughter each time.

The glue which held both shows together was St. Luke’s outstanding Theatre Crew, under the supervision of St. Luke's Technical Director John Conners, who are the very definition of above and beyond. While there are too many all-stars to name, a few standout seniors include Chloe Kekedjian of New Canaan for designing 1960's era clothing, Jacqui Holzberger of New Canaan for engineering and creating a system of lights backstage to cues actors’ entrances for precise timing (pivotal to the successful comic timing in this farce), and Kirsten Beaumont of Westport always at the helm executing all the technical requirements with perfect precision.

To see some of the fun from these productions, view the Life in the Middle and Boeing-Boeing photo galleries.

St. Luke's Theatre Department is gearing up for its winter musicals: The Wizard of Oz (Middle School) and Urinetown (Upper School). All St. Luke's theatre productions are free and open to the public.
