On April 21 and 22 at 6:30 p.m., Penn High School students will perform this year’s children’s play, “Gooney Bird Greene”.  Taking place in the Studio Theater, the show tells the story of a quirky yet extraordinary girl who uses her creativity for good as she becomes a new student at her school.

 

Caroline Carrier, the Penn sophomore who has the role of Gooney Bird Greene, speaks very highly of the show and the experiences it has brought to her and the other actors.

 

“The most exciting part of playing the lead is getting to be so involved in all of the different scenes,” Carrier said. “It's a lot of fun getting to be a big part of something so unique and enjoyable.”

 

Directed by Penn High School teacher David Dutton, the play features fun scenes and crazy stories.  It is an interactive show directed towards audiences with children, and will be exceptionally entertaining for people of all ages.

 

Carrier has been involved in theatre productions since the age of 9, and she has been cast in numerous shows throughout her short high school career.

 

“Gooney Bird Greene has been a blast,” Carrier said. “It's a great show with a great cast, and we've made it the best it can be since day one.”

 

Tickets can be purchased for $5 at www.ticketracker.com or at the door.
