BHS one-act performs ‘The Gypsy Woman’ in Sunday afternoon show
Bowie High School will present its one act play, “The Gypsy Woman” in a free public performance at 4 p.m. on Feb. 27 in the high school cafeteria.
The cast and crew are busy rehearsing for the district University Interscholastic League contest on March 2 at Graham Memorial Auditorium. Competition begins at 11 a.m. with Bowie expected to perform about 4 p.m.
This play by Don Nigro is done in the Commedia dell’arte style, explains Director Candace Mercer. The play is from Concord Theatricals.
“It is very much an ancient practice, but is the foundation of all things comedy. Students had to unlearn traditional acting techniques and modern characterization. The play is made up of stock characters from five centuries ago. We are using traditional Commedia masks. We spent months researching these old techniques and learned so much about the history of theatre and comedy,” said Mercer.
