Fall Play will be a S‘M*A*S*H’ Hit

By Alicia Errthum
         

For the past two months, the directors, cast, and crew of Western Dubuque's fall play have been working diligently to prepare their show for performance. After countless hours of painstakingly poring over lines, finding costumes, and designing the set, the drama department is proud to present to the public their fall 2011 play:   “M*A*S*H.” Taking place during the Korean War, this play follows the laughable and loveable characters of Drs. Pierce and Forrest, affectionately known as Hawkeye and Duke, as they create mischief in the U.S. army base where they are located, which is also called “The Swamp.”



"I think the show will entertain people of all ages with its dry humor and goofy quirks," says student director Erin Norton. Performances are to be held in the Western Dubuque High School Old Gym.  Opening night is to start at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11.  In honor of Veterans Day, there will be a special tribute to our United States Armed Forces.  Other performance of “M*A*S*H” are scheduled are to be held 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 and 3:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13th.



Tickets for “M*A*S*H” are available through the WDHS Activities Office by calling 563-876-3442 ext. 3008 or can be purchased at the door. Admission is $6.00 for adults and $3.00 for students.
