Thomy, will graduate this spring and on Saturday, May 24, 2009 he acted in his last high school play. Both Elizabeth and Thomy were very involved in the Pulaski County High School drama program and acted in many plays throughout their high school career. The PCHS Players are directed by Jeff McCoy. Mr. McCoy is one of those teachers who can really throw a program together, but I must say, there is as much drama behind the scenes as there is on the stage.
The Wizard of Oz was chosen for the senior play and Thomy played Dorothy’s Uncle Henry. There was a special significance to the performance, Mr. McCoy had directed The Wizard of Oz his first year teaching at PCHS and this was the 20th anniversary, so it was only fitting that this be the last play of the season. The last night of the senior play is also senior night and there are, as expected, those seniors who organize their own senior prank within the show. This is why senior night is always “packed-out” it keeps a predictable epic performance a bit more exciting.
I will miss the Drama Mama’s and their home made fund raiser treats, getting a little dressed-up, chatting with the parents of my children’s friends and the PCHS Little Theatre. I want to thank everyone that has sat through a three hour play, in an uncomfortable seat and drove hours to get there and home. So to all those adoring fans out there,
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
