Apex Peak Players’
spring production, Curtains, is
coming to a close. A hilarious show, with upbeat songs and dances, this musical
has something for everyone. There is phenomenal talent within the cast of Curtains, including singing, acting, and
dancing. Junior Will Stapleton, portrayed a very convincing Lt. Cioffi, who
investigates a murder all while he helped to improve the musical within the
musical, “Robbin’ Hood.” Sophomore Ainsley Seiger got another lead role this
year as Niki Harris, a talented young woman; she is also the love interest of
Lt. Cioffi. Accents are used throughout the show. Accents are quite difficult
to master; this cast does it flawlessly. Most notable accents are Sarah Crowley’s
Boston accent, for her character Carmen Bernstein, and sophomore David Lish’s
British accent, for his character Christopher Belling. Senior Katie Bowyer, who
plays Georgia Hendricks, made her Apex theatre debut in Curtains. Bowyer and junior David Flowers, playing Aaron Fox, Miss
Hendrick’s ex-husband, had great onstage chemistry while rekindling their
characters’ romance. The cast showed off their dancing talents through the complex
choreography by Rachel Redwine, a former Apex High student. Junior Chelsey Rowan,
an outstanding dancer, playing Bambi Bernet, definitely shows off her skills
throughout the show. The costumes are fun and they represent the time period
very well, as does the set. Curtains
is only open for one more weekend, March 6-8. Shows begin at 7 p.m. Tickets
range from $7-$9 online at apexdrama.com or $10 at the door. For more
information e-mail Gina Winter at gwinter@wcpss.net. Get your tickets before the
Curtains close for good.
