CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – On May 4 and 5, the TCHS Drama Club performed their annual spring production for the public, according to Karen McAnelly, director. This year, their performance was titled “The Seussodyssey” by Don Zolidis. In addition, several monologues were performed by cast members.


In this play, Homer’s Odyssey is transformed into the style of Dr. Seuss. The play centers around Odysseus, played by Ozzie Delgado, who is journeying home by boat to his wife Penelope, played by McKenzie Lawson. On the way, Odysseus and his crew members encounter several monsters and enchantresses, such as the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens, and Scylla and Charybdis. Back home, various suitors are trying to win Penelope’s heart, though she is still in love with her husband. When Odysseus returns, he is forced to fight for Penelope’s honor. The play is “Seussified” with rhyming lines and includes a twist on Green Eggs and Ham.


Director Karen McAnelly was very satisfied with this year’s performance. “I am so very proud of the hard work and dedication the members of the TCHS Drama Club put forth for our production this year.”

Monologues performed include: “The McDonald’s Monologue” performed by Katelyn Howell, “March in Line” performed by Brittany McFarland, “Gone with the Wind (In Five Minutes)” performed by Tiffany Lawson, and “Napoleon Dynamite” performed by Jacob Lee and Timmy Mills.

Cast and crew of “The Seussodyssey” include: Jessie Bagby, Ozzie Delgado, Brittany Downey, Bethany England, Shelby Grant, Catherine Gray, Mary Gray, Rebecca Hamm, Kathryn Hieneman, Katelyn Howell, Patrick Howell, Lauren Johnson, McKenzie Lawson, Tiffany Lawson, Jacob Lee, Brittany McFarland, Timmy Mills, Alexa Parker, Wes Phillips, Nikki Rabbeth, Hannah Sadler, Miranda Scott, Shelby Smith, Erin Steele, Marshall Steele, and Natalie Warren. The play was directed by Karen McAnelly and Dana Rogers.
