Perkins County One Act to perform Sunday
Perkins County High School One Act members will perform Citizen’s Arrest on Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. in the multipurpose room at the high school. Admission is a free-will donation and desserts will be served after the show.
In the one-act play by Bobby Keniston, Dennis, an average guy played by Beau Wood, is caught littering by Dana, a “concerned citizen” played by Keshia Leeper, who places him under Citizen’s Arrest.
While Dennis attempts to keep friendly about the situation, Dana stops every passerby to play a part in her “citizen’s trial.” Before he even knows what’s happening, Dennis finds himself facing an out-of-work actress district attorney (Peyton Woodmancy), an ornery office temp judge (Kate Patrick), a Jane Austen-obsessed construction worker bailiff (Brandon Knoles), and Dennis’ own coffee shop employee defense attorney (Jacob Woodmancy).
As the “trial” progresses, a disgruntled tour group becomes the jury.
Will Dennis be found not guilty at his “citizen’s trial,” or will he become victim to the will of the people?
