The Great Bend High School Drama Department invites the community to view their Fall 2020 play “A Simpler Time.” Presented in partnership with Playscripts.com, the production is available to view for free on the Panther Media YouTube Channel.
Production is a collection of nine, 10 minute plays that find fun and familiar themes across every era. The tale of three time travelers illustrates a common thread throughout history; there is humor in human nature.
“Planning for our play in 2020 doubled our effort in some areas,” said Holly Johnson, GBHS drama teacher. “We didn’t know if we’d be able to perform it live or not and while the recording didn’t require to many changes in the way to staging, we had to record each scene individually which added production time.”
Johnson shared that while students are proud of the final product, “there’s no replacement for the rush you get from performing in front of a live audience.”
The GBHS Drama Department would like to thank the generous sponsors who supported their production, which include, Just In Time Remodeling, Credit Union of America, Barton Community College, Nex-Tech, and Nex-Tech Wireless.
“Without ticket revenue from a live performance, our community sponsors were more important, and more appreciated than ever,” said Johnson.
