Said and Meant a Success

On April 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th, Talawanda Drama put on their play “Said and Meant.” The play was quite a success; most of the seats were taken every night.

There were seven  acts to the play, which all included witty and humorous conversations that made the audience laugh out loud. Both Ryan Steffen and TJ Pearson did a good job at directing their casts. “I was very proud of both casts taking such a difficult script and interpreting and developing it in their own way. It showed a true internalization of the concepts that Mr. Pearson and I teach every day.” Said Steffen.

Though the play went through some hardships about whether or not it was appropriate and budget problems, over all, the play was not taken in a way that offended people, rather in a way that made people ponder social instances, and also chuckle while doing it.

The cast had a great time with it, also. Freshman Alyson Barker believes she made memories with the cast while also working hard. “Overall I think it went really well, and it was super fun to do. There were so many times working with [the cast] that we made such awesome memories.” Said Barker.

The play was a great success because of the amount of fun that everyone had. The scenes were funny and thoughtful, and also very well played out.
