“Thursday Night Live!” a fundraiser-improv show in the style of the famous “Saturday Night Live,” will be performed one night only, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in the Orange Auditorium (aka The Cave) at Pennsbury High School West, 608 S. Olds Blvd., Fairless Hills.
“Thursday Night Live!” is student directed by senior Cassi Daley along with the production team of Addison Blumberg, Meghan Crohe and Ellie Umstead. Writers include the Gianna Mathas, Ava Mascio, Andrew Meschke, Gianna Miller and Annamarie Radzinski. Each year the number of students involved grows immensely. It is one of the most well-attended shows of the year. Thespian Troupe 830 is under the guidance of Director Matthew South, Assistant Director Damari Fallacaro and Costume Designer Ruth Schanbacher.
“Thursday Night Live!” was started seven years ago as a fundraiser to help troupe members offset cost of attending the PA State Thespian Conference. In the spirit of giving as they received, toiletry donations were collected for a local women’s shelter.
Canned goods will be donated to the high school’s food pantry run by the school nurse. Pennsbury High School’s food pantry assists with providing food to the district’s most vulnerable students. The pantry needs canned foods that a student can heat up, such as canned ravioli, soups, macaroni and cheese cups, oatmeal, individual snack bags and fruit cups.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and can be purchased at the door 45 minutes before the performance. Cash only. Adults that bring in a donation will have their ticket discounted to the student price of $5.
Other performances this year include: “Clue” in November, “Aesop’s (Oh So Slightly Updated) Fables & Tables” (one act) in December and “12 Angry Juror’s” in April. Information on Pennsbury High School Drama Thespian Troupe 830 can be found at pennsburydrama.org.
