Drama Club Gets Funny with “Anything Goes”
- The Stars are in their Favor
Ian MacLeod

(„Anything Goes‟) is
better and funnier than
„Legally Blonde,‟ which
is saying something,
because that was
pretty good.”
— Riley Morrison

Alessandra Vento is Hope Harcourt

The Drama Club is at it again. Last
year their production of ―Legally
Blonde‖ was well received. This
year they are performing ―Anything
Goes,‖ a musical comedy written
and scored by Cole Porter that
first debuted in 1934. ―Anything
Goes‖ is the story of romantic
entanglements and wild antics
aboard a transatlantic ocean liner. If
you are not a big fan of musicals
you may at least remember its
eponymous song ―Anything Goes,‖
which was also featured in the
opening of the movie ―Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom‖
back in 1984.
The cast is very excited about
performing and thinks that people
are going to really enjoy their performance. Sean O‘Brien (Class of
2014), plays Billy Crocker, the male
lead. He describes him as ―a pretty
confident guy and a hopeless romantic who will stop at nothing to
get what he wants,‖ in this case
Hope Harcourt, one the two female leads. When asked if people
are going to like the play he replied,―Oh yeah, people are going to
love it.‖

Alessandra Vento (Class of 2015),
plays Hope Harcourt and seems
very pumped to play her. In the
story Hope is engaged to Lord
Evelyn Oakleigh (a stuffy English
aristocrat played by Tim McDonnell), but is really in love with Billy.
―Everyone is really talented. The
audience is going to love it,‖ said
Vento.
Leighann Healy (Class of 2014)
plays Reno Sweeney, the other
female lead. She is particularly
excited about performing because
she says that she has been waiting
all
