BHS sophomore Serena Mlodinoff elected to help lead Oregon’s 86 theatre troupes

Despite massive setbacks, the cast and crew put on a hilarious play for the ages

A musical with a cast of thirty-five is hard to put together, but easy to perform. Alternatively, a drama with a cast of only six is easy to put together, but much harder to perform. The former is a showcase of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the rehearsal process, whereas it is often onstage on opening night that these bodily fluids are evoked from the latter.

An inside look into the double-casted production of Get Smart, performed by Beaverton High School Theater.

November was a month of beginnings for Beaverton’s drama department. They held auditions, rehearsed, and from November 15th through November 19th, they presented the community with their opening production of the school year: Get Smart.

Slowly but surely, Beaverton Theatre Department’s first production Get Smart is coming together. We see it on the stage opening night November 15th, but what happens before the curtains go up?
