PdCHS Drama Hawks entertaining audiences with ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

Submitted by admin1 on Mon, 11/07/2016 - 11:57

Owen Feye, acting as Seymour, the botanical genius of a shop assistant, gains instant fame after discovering an unusual plant he names Audrey II. Still a small plant, he learns that it lives and grows after eating blood and flesh. He’s pictured feeding it a few drops of blood and asking it to grow and draw attention from his love interest, Audrey. (Photo by Correne Martin)

The three main characters, Audrey and Seymour, and Mr. Mushnik, their employer, are in awe of the money coming into the Skid Row flower shop since the overnight sensation plant draws attention to the shop.

The main female lead in the musical, Audrey, the flower shop’s arrangement maker, is played by Anna McDuffey. She’s in an abusive relationship but has a crush on her co-worker, Seymour. (Photos by Correne Martin)

Carter Witzig is Mr. Mushnik who owns the little flower shop on Skid Row. Here, he sings about calling his overnight sensation assistant “his son” in order to increase the business’ fortune.

David Yager was full of energy and hilarity in his role as the dentist/boyfriend of Audrey in “Little Shop of Horrors.” He is shown here wearing a laughing gas mask and singing about the enjoyment he feels in inflicting pain on others. Meanwhile, Seymour ponders whether to shoot him before the gas mask becomes stuck and asphyxiates him.

Mr. Mushnik sings with the Goddesses of Swag.......

If you missed the “Little Shop of Horrors” presented by the Prairie du Chien High School Drama Hawks, you have a few more chances to see the horror comedy rock musical in the high school’s little theater: Friday, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 12, at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

The cast and crew of about 25 have put on four spectacular shows already and audiences are loving it.

“A lot are quite familiar with the story,” Director Phil Stiemke said. “We did a short concert-type presentation a few years ago and some of this year’s kids were there for that. Some of them have a lot to do in this one.”

Seventh graders emerged in mock election campaign

Submitted by admin1 on Mon, 11/07/2016 - 11:43

These seventh graders just found out what their political map looks like for the day. The Republicans (seated in the forefront) realized their campaign has not been gaining them as high of a percentage of votes as their Democratic counterparts. Pictured (from left) are Mani Watson, Duke Scherf, Faith Meyer, Dom Tanner, Joseph Ruskey and Syler Wall.

The Democratic Party, including campaign manager Lily Kregel and presidential nominee Eva Keene, focus on seeking support from interest groups while their social studies teacher Josh Rabbit prepares to video a dinner party speech.

Speech writer Faith Meyer and vice-presidential nominee Joseph Ruskey go over a speech just before Ruskey shares it with his classmates. An updated political map and some of the students’ propaganda hang in the background. (Photos by Correne Martin)

Political posters, many of which reflect issues of the true national election, hang all over Mr. Rabbit's room.

By Correne Martin

The seventh grade students in Josh Rabbit’s social studies classes at Bluff View Intermediate School are as perplexed about the 2016 presidential election as the adult electorate. They’re in the home stretch of attending rallies, spending money on and appealing to voters’ emotions through advertising, focusing on winning key states, and reciting their views on the most controversial points of this election. It’s the end of a full campaign and, just like the rest of the United States citizens, they will realize the impact of the election’s conclusion Nov. 8.
