On February 21, a reading of ALKY will be presented at the Laurie Beechman, directed and produced by Ryan Duncan (Shrek, Altar Boyz) and performed by members of Honorable Mention, Waterwell, and more.
Ms. O'Hara and her former students (the Marumsco Valley Players) are hoping to bring their message of the evils of teen drinking to impressionable young people just like YOU.
Alky is a REAL teen drama written by Jerome McDonough and as one of his most popular plays, it is performed in high schools across the country. We've taken the play, put twistedly funny adults in it, added some real booze, and we'll do a 'serious' reading of it. And by 'serious' I mean 'ridiculous'. The play reading pokes fun at the extreme way fear and even horror is used to scare youth into avoiding drinking. It's like a 'hell house' for teen alcoholism.
