The Hoover Middle School Drama Club presented,
P.S. Merry Christmas, its first show of the 2013-2014 school year back on
December 17.
Cast members included seventh graders
Josh, Rachel, Emilee and Latrenisha, and eighth-graders Brooke, Austin, De Janae, Mykaila,
Claudia and Kyle.
This is how the plot played out: Have
you ever received a Christmas letter? One of those notes inserted into a
Christmas card telling you much more than you ever wanted to know about the
sender? Karen Brookshire loves writing them but not her family. They’d much
rather dive behind the couch.
With a boy crazy daughter, a
smarty-pants son and a klutzy husband, Karen has her hands full.
So Karen has decided to write their
Christmas letter by herself recalling such events as their daughter’s first
date, which unfortunately occurred at the same time as two overly-adoring aunts
were visiting, Also included was their son’s high school graduation, where he
not only won the embarrassing “Perfect Attendance Award” but also found out
that he would still be living at home.
But the more Karen writes, the more
her imagination soars. She even pictures the rest of her family pulling a
“Mission Impossible” to get rid of the letter. Full of humor and poignant
memories, the theatrical greeting card brings home the true meaning of family,
of tradition and, of course, Christmas itself.
