Sussex Central Drama Club to present ‘Disaster’ April 4-5

Take Two Drama Club of Sussex Central High School will present “Disaster,” by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick. Performances are set for 7 p.m., Friday, April 4, and 2 and 7 p.m., Saturday, April 5, at the Premiere Centre for the Arts at Sussex Central High School, 26026 Patriots Way, Georgetown.

“This show is a total hoot,” said David Warick, Take Two advisor and Sussex Central High School drama instructor. “It takes all the disaster movies of the 1970s and creates a hilarious mashup of all of them, using musical hits from the ‘70s as the score.”

“Audiences will really be delighted with the variety of music in this show,” said Warick. “It has everything from disco to power pop ballads to the goofy novelty numbers so popular in that era. Old-timers will love the references, and younger audiences will really enjoy hearing a totally different kind of music to modern pop and rock hits. Plus, our all-new pit band of teenage musicians, led by our new SCHS music instructor Thomas Oxbrough, will literally floor everyone with their talent.”

“Disaster” is appropriate for adults, teens and tween audiences. The over-the-top accidents and mayhem that are part of the disaster parodies may be frightening to younger children and emotionally sensitive audience members. Strobing lights, fog and other special effects will also be used, so audience members who experience sensory challenges should be advised to exercise personal judgment and caution.

Take Two Drama Club is a nonprofit club and drama boosters organization (501c3) that supports production of plays and musicals for Sussex Central High School students and the surrounding communities.
