‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ on stage at Willoughby South

Metro Creative Connection

Willoughby South Drama Club brings its annual spring musical to life this week with their production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”

All performances will be at the school at 7:30 p.m. March 15-17, 2:30 p.m. March 17 and 5:0 p.m. March 18. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors and can be purchased in advance at www.weschools.org/theatertickets.aspx.

“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is a popular recent Broadway musical comedy based on the 1980s movie starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine about two con artists that cross paths and decide to work together in a contest to defraud their chosen target for the right to exclusively work the turf of the French Riviera.

Diana Brnjic is the student director and is assisted with stage management by Riley McLaughlin and technical direction from Mitchell McLaughlin — all a part of the Willoughby South philosophy of having students run every aspect of the production.

The cast features seniors Noah Pigza (Lawrence Jameson), Max Brodzinski (Freddy Benson), Lauren Vittori (Christine Colgate), Gina Kucmanic (Muriel Eubanks), junior Kamryn Mohney (Jolene Oakes), and sophomore Sean Cook (Andre Thibault).

“Being in the musical is amazing because I get to share the stage with people who I love and have always inspired me,” says Kamryn.

“I love being able to bring such an incredibly funny story to life with my closest friends,” agrees fellow castmate Lauren.
