Webberville High School Theatre Arts Class presents “Break a Leg,” a comedy in two acts by Eddie McPherson.

 

Trudy, new to the theatre scene, has just been hired as stage manager for an upcoming play at a small community theatre. The problem is Trudy is inept, clumsy, and more than that, she’s a jinx. The cast, led by Lyle Hodge and Dana Wicks, agrees that Trudy, played by Jaymie Diederich, is a modern-day gremlin who is cursing the show they are rehearsing.  They decide she must go once and for all. So, why doesn’t the director, Sanders Beeker, played by Andy Clark, fire her?  Because Trudy is the only niece of the theatre’s owner, Mrs. Brakes, played by Beka Shirk.  Realizing that throwing her out isn’t an option, the cast resolves to de-hex Trudy in order to make the theatre a safe haven once again. An old book of theatre superstitions is brought in, and the reverse-the-curse shenanigans and laughs begin.
