The drama department will perform The Single Man on Nov. 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.

The Single Man is a comedic murder-mystery that spoofs reality dating shows like The Bachelor. In The Single Man, the audience follows the protagonist Henri Poisson, played by senior Kaeden Conrad, after he is recruited into the reality dating show The Single Man after a death threat is sent to the bachelor. Henri must work undercover to unveil who is behind the threat while eight single women compete for his love. The result becomes a quick, hilarious mash-up of The Bachelor and classic murder-mystery comedy. 

The play is being directed by English teacher Michelle Rathe and physics teacher Blake Drinovsky. Tickets will be available for $6 per person, and can be purchased on Bound and at the entrance of the school during the play. 

Drinovsky said, “It’s a fun evening of getting to see really talented 10 through 12th graders performing a play that is just coming together really well.” 

Additionally, Conrad said, “I’m feeling the plays going really good. Everyone’s incorporating their acting skill into it, and it’s really turning into what we envisioned it as.”
