Trottier Middle School students will play for laughs when they hit the stage next weekend. The play details are announced by the Trottier Drama department, but the description assures you can expect a comedy. (At least in the modern sense.)
The play “Night at the Wax Museum” will be performed Friday, May 10th at 7:00 pm and Saturday, May 11th at 3:00 pm. That will be in the Trottier auditorium, 49 Parkerville Road.
Tickets are already available for purchase online here.
The Drama dept shared the plot. (Don’t confuse it with Night at the Museum. But it certainly sounds like fans of that movie franchise should enjoy this.):
School’s out for summer, but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to retake the class in summer school. First-year teacher Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra’s bracelet brings them to life! King Henry VIII finds himself smitten with Cleopatra, making his queen, Anne Boleyn, furious. If she can just not lose her head, John Adams is there to serve as her divorce attorney! When Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Blackbeard, and a bevy of lady pirates show up, everybody’s out for one thing — treasure! Supposedly, there’s a mighty valuable one hidden in the museum! It’s a wild goose chase to find it, with a greedy museum landlord and her bumbling son joining in the mad search. And why is Lizzie Borden lurking in the shadows, since the aunts say they never had a wax figure of her?! Join the hilarious fun as treasure-hungry outlaws, pirates, and royalty mount the greatest siege since Vicksburg!
