This year, Grafton High School showcased the play, Charlotte's Web, the weekend of November 17-19. As a spectator of one of their rehearsals, I can assure you this play is one of the finest productions that the theatre program has ever produced. Shawn Bajwa notes that this is the best play that he has ever taken part in. The actors and actresses are all extraordinarily talented and hardworking, and the backstage crew works extremely hard to make sure that everything runs smoothly as well. Abi Seely, one of the costume and makeup personnel helps sort through the many outfits. She works to make all the actors and actresses look beautiful on the stage. She says that her favorite part of the play is making the costumes, and doing the actors’ and actresses’ makeup. Thanks to the backstage crew, the costumes and stage props are absolutely incredible. Best of all is Megan Paluzzi’s six-legged jacket where her dabs are six times as savage. Paluzzi stars as Charlotte, the spider in the play. She does a phenomenal job of acting as a motherly figure to the cast both on and off the stage. Even the backstage crew adores her, most of them saying that she is a wonderful actress who puts her all into everything she does and looks to bring people together. However, Paluzzi is not the only one stealing the hearts of the audience. Gabby Costa, playing Templeton the Rat, has done eleven musicals. According to Costa, this will be her first major role. Costa fits the role of Templeton perfectly, and her costume embodies who Templeton the Rat is as a character. In addition to the success of these wonderful actresses, the freshmen have taken on their roles in the play with the grace of their full-fledged upperclassmen actors and actresses. When asked, Paluzzi said that even she looks up to all the freshmen for going above and beyond. They always bring new ideas to the play. One such freshman, Chase Landry, who plays the role of the little brother, says that this is his one of the best plays he has done and is very excited for his role. As a witness of the freshmen's performances during practice, they definitely take the Grafton High School Theatre by storm. Many of the theatre kids have said they enjoy their lengthy rehearsals, where they work tirelessly to perfect their performance. This intense work ethic is in place so they can put on the best show possible. If Charlotte’s Web was any indication of the talent the theatre program possesses, the student body has quite the treat to look forward to in the spring musical.
