Current production:

The Frogs: A Modern Adaption by Don Zolidis

Description:

Disgusted with the state of current entertainment, Dionysus, God of Wine and Poetry, decides that it's time to retrieve Shakespeare from the underworld. Surely if the Bard were given a series on HBO, he'd be able to raise the level of discourse! Accompanied by his trusted servant, Xanthias (the brains of the operation), Dionysus seeks help from Hercules and Charon the Boatman. Unfortunately, his plan to rescue Shakespeare goes horribly awry, as he's captured by a chorus of reality-television-loving demon frogs. The frogs put the god on trial and threaten him with never-ending torment unless he brings more reality shows into the world. It won't be easy for Dionysus to survive, and, even if he does get past the frogs, Jane Austen isn't ready to let Shakespeare escape without a fight. Adapted from Aristophanes' classic satire, The Frogs is a hilarious and scathing look at highbrow and lowbrow art.

About the Advisor

My name is Michael Ready and I am very excited to be at Kalama High School. I received my bachelors degree in history from Western Washington University in 2015 and my teaching credentials in 2016. I had the honor of working for the Rochester School District (my alma mater) for a year and the Centralia School District for the 4 years prior to coming to Kalama.

I am very passionate about learning and education! I have my Masters in Holocaust and Genocide Studies through Gratz College in Pennsylvania and am currently pursing my Ph.D. in the same field. I have over a decade in theatre experience as either an actor, director, or production/backstage work. I have served as Board President for Tenino Young-at-Heart Theatre in Tenino, WA for 5 years and hope in years to come to see community theatre develop in Kalama!
