Shear Madness


I think the whole eighth grade can say that this play was hilarious! Parker students experienced a new kind of play while watching "Shear Madness." The audience shouts out ideas on who murdered Isabel while four suspects get accused. The actor who played the hairdresser was a group favorite among everyone because of his zany personality. Every word that he spoke was followed by an erupted laughter from the crowd. The entire cast of "Shear Madness" did a great job adding in connections that were targeted to the audience. There were humorous lines about celebrities and even some jokes about each other. Some moments looked as if the actors were laughing and smiling!

During the brief intermission students went outside to see a beautiful view. On the top floor many students took the opportunity to take pictures and talk to one of the actors. We were given the chance to talk to the "lead investigator," and ask any questions. After about ten minutes, Parker shuffled back into the Kennedy Theatre to ask questions to the characters on stage. At the end of the play the whole audience voted on who we thought was guilty. This was defiantly a good way to end our last night!
