Hermon Class of 2006 to stage ‘The Fat of the Land’

HERMON – The Class of 2006 at Hermon High School will present its senior play, “The Fat of the Land,” at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Nov. 4 and 5, in the high school auditorium.

Ever wonder what really goes on in a health spa? It’s probably nothing like what happens at the Thelma Underwood Health Resort.

All the ladies here are either trying to date Duncan, the new counselor, or plotting how to get rid of Mr. Loggins, a sinister investor with visions of turning the place into a parking lot. And just when Duncan makes a play for the secretary, a newspaper reporter shows up to blow the lid off the place.

Ulterior motives, hidden secrets and outrageous situations boil up in this all-too-human comedy about what some people will do to lose weight.

The list of characters, and the seniors who will play them, are:

. Helga Abernathy – Katelin Campbell.

. Celia Wofford – Heidi Brawn.

. Doris Funderburk – Allison Small.

. Nola Barker – Stephanie Patten.

. Clementine Platt – Janelle Reynolds.

. Frances Mulgreevy – Katie Pelletier.

. Ajax – Adam Blakeway.

. Glynnis Mondello – Jennifer Chalout.

. Duncan Hennessee – Greg Winningham.

. Mikey Flynn – Drew Winningham.

. Alvin Funderburk – Nate LaFave.

The play is directed by Mrs. Pat Buchanan.
