Eastlake drama brings 1-act comedies to the plateau
November 14, 2012
Theater fans can get two for the price of one this week when the Eastlake High School Drama team presents two one-act comedies, “This Is a Test” and “Making Nice.”
Doubling up on the number of fall productions makes sense as the size of the club has more than doubled. When director Rachelle Horner took over the Eastlake drama club four years ago she had about 10 students to work worth. That number now fluxates between 20 and 30, depending on the season and students’ class loads.

Eastlake play takes on ‘risky’ topics for high school

Playing such a depressing and serious role in his first lead part in a play doesn’t seem to bother Daniel Kowalski, an Eastlake High School junior.
In fact, he appreciates the responsibility that comes with the task of portraying a bullied teen driven to commit mass murder at school.
“There’s really a lot of hate when you play this role. It’s different,” he said during rehearsal Nov. 8. “I didn’t realize how much responsibility went into getting this character.”
