Oakesdale Drama Class presents "Little Women"

OAKESDALE - After approximately three months, the Oakesdale High School Drama Class is bringing the classic "Little Women," to life on stage.

The high school students will perform at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, doors opening at 6:15 p.m. in the Oakesdale Gymnasium, 101 East McCoy.

Drama teacher Amy Warwick said at 5:30 p.m. the Elementary Assembly Student Body is hosting a community dinner before the performance.

"I'm actually going to perform in this one too," Warwick said. "They're actually going to have an adult in the cast this year. I never act with them but there was nobody to play their Marmee and so I agreed to it."

Warwick said out of the small school there are 16 students participating in all.

The cast is as follows: Jenna Rawls as Meg March, Grace DeMeerleer as Joe March, Staley Taylor as Beth March, Trinity Burd as Amy March, Charlie Henning as Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence, Ave Rodriguez as Hannah Mullet, Amy Warwick as Marmee March, Adam Scott as John Brooke, Piper Brown as Aunt March and Riley Richardson as Professor Bhaer.

Emily Bakken will work behind the scenes as lead backstage manager.

Other key production help includes Paige Eads, Wyatt Southern, Jake Melhaus and Grant Opitz.
