KH Players Black Box production this weekend

KH Players Black Box production this weekend

Beginning Feb. 2, the KH Players will perform their third show of the year, Fools, by Neil Simon. Tickets are $7 for students and $10 for adults, and curtain is at 7 p.m. Space is limited to 102 seats in the Black Box Theatre, so audiences are recommended to arrive at the school with plenty of time to spare.

The comedy Fools tells the story of a young schoolteacher named Leon Tolchinsky (played by Connor Anderson-Proctor, sophomore) who travels to the town of Kulyenchikov, Ukraine to be a private tutor for Sophia Zubritsky (played by Adrienne Colombus, senior). The moment Leon sees Sophia, he falls for her, but there is only one problem; she and the rest of Kulyenchikov are cursed with stupidity. Leon has only 24 hours to teach Sophia something, anything, or he will fall under the curse, too.

Kelly Schnider, director, is looking forward to the production, and Fools is one of the only shows in her career she has ever directed a second time (around 10 years ago, she directed a middle school version of the show as the Nipher drama teacher).

Fools will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

“I hope people bring their funny bones,” Schnider said.
