Mandy Dear

Democrat Photo Cassville High School will host its first one-act drama since 2005 in three performances this weekend of Mandy Dear, written by Hillary Ingber. Students spent afterschool hours doing final rehearsals for the weekend performances. Pictured, from left, are Casey Andrews, CHS speech and debate teacher running the lines for the character of Molly, who will be played by Asia Yost; Chris Himebaugh as Mel; and Adrianna Fine as Reneé. Chaos ensues in this romantic comedy when an advice columnist, Molly, gives really bad advice to a man she thinks is her ex-boyfriend. Performances will be at 5 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 7 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 9 in the Cassville High School drama room. Tickets are $2 for students and $5 for adults.
