S-T Drama Department Previews One Act Play

Matchmaker Pearl Brisistsky (Lindsey Estes) and Chaim Shotsky (Brett Howard).

A young woman visits the park and is drawn into the life of an elderly Jewish man in "Chaim's Love Song," a play by Marvin Chernoff. The S-T High School Drama Department presented a public preview of the one-act play Monday to an appreciative audience of students, teachers, and parents. The play will next be presented Thursday in Three Rivers at the District Competition.

Notable performances included Brett Howard as the title character Chaim Shotsky, Katlynn Mengers as Kelly Burke, and Rob Boscamp as Oscar Birnbaum. The Signal notes that Rob has made a short but successful career of playing old codgers! Katy Casas showed impressive emotional range in her portrayal of holocaust survivor Tsawrah Shotsky. And finally, Lindsey Estes offered up a nice touch of comic relief as the gaudily feather-headed matchmaker Pearl Brisistsky. More photos online at Shutterfly.com
