The Annandale theatre company (ATC) is preparing to debut its fall production of the Spanish play Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca.

The cast was chosen after auditions took place on September where students demonstrated their talent to the judges.

The play is set in Spain in the 1930s and it focuses on the story of a bride who used to be in a relationship with Leonardo, another key character. The story follows Leonardo murdering the bridegroom’s father and brother.

This year, according to the Assistant Director of the play, senior Jessica Smith, there are two Assistant Stage Managers. Sophomores Christina Le and Chelsea Robles will be overseeing the stage.

Students have been working really hard so the production can be successful.

“We are preparing for the show by having rehearsal, daily. Before rehearsal even started we had a read through as an ensemble (both cast and crew), along with table work as an ensemble,” Smith said.

The cast will be performing the show for three days with a total of four performances.

The play’s opening night is Thursday, November 17th at 7 p.m., and its other two days will be November 18 and 19, both shows starting at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The set design will have different transformations as the scenes changes.

“The set will be representational, as it needs to transform into many different locations throughout the play including a kitchen, a forest, and a large cathedral. In order to quickly change between locations, the set designer senior Carson Binkley has created a set of periaktos (3-sided rotating triangular prisms), that will be turned as the scenes change,” Smith said.

Students are excited to see their friends perform.

“I am very excited to see how my friends do in the play,” senior Rose White said.

Those who want to see the play can buy tickets during all lunches for $8 and $10 at the door.
