Tragedy struck Gibraltar High School when the entire cast of Anything Goes experienced death by hummus only a week before the performance. We turn to the one survivor, Evan Board, to relate the story to us: Evan Board, an extremely popular freshman amongst the theatre crowd, was cast as the understudy to every single part in the show along with his pre-existing part as the purser. He became close, and eventually seduced, every cast member, stirring up troubles and mistrust with their overbearing mothers and getting inside their heads. Evan filled in for every part when the entire cast failed to show up to first dress rehearsal (due to a long night of partying that had been arranged by Evan) sparking many nervous breakdowns. The cast began having disturbing hallucinations of physically becoming their role, and to top it off, they imagined Evan in their dressing in their costumes saying that he'd take over for them. Out of fear and rage, they stabbed him with a broken hummus jar, or so they thought. It turns out that they were actually hallucinating the whole time and they had actually stabbed themselves with the hummus jar. But despite the piece of hummus glass stuck in their stomach, they each finished the performance with more emotion and integrity than they ever had, and as the curtain closed they each uttered their last words "It was perfect". Anything Goes, now starring Evan Board as every part, opens April 13th. Tickets are available at the DCA box office.
