Honeymoon at Graveside Manor at Rossview
By Siera Millard

Beginning on October 24th and ending on October 26th, Rossview High School was treated to three days of yet another wonderful play put on by its theater program. Halloween vibes a tangible thing in October, this play touched on that feeling and excitement that this orange month brings out. Emily (Emma) Ross, new to being an actress for the theater program, recounts her experience in this year’s play in the unique position of a major lead and a new member.

How long did you all rehearse for the play?
  • “We had 76 hours in total practice.”

How did rehearsals change from early in the game to right before the play?
  • “Rehearsal progress as we begin practicing on a bare stage and then a half-finished set and then a complete set. Then after three weeks of practice, we must be off the book and practice our lines off-book. Very early, it’s more carefree and fun. As time approaches, it’s serious and quick-paced.”

What is your synopsis of the play’s plot?
  • “Honeymoon at Graveside Manor is a ghostly farce full of laughs and spooks. Tyler Thorncraft takes his wife Marian Throncraft on a honeymoon to an unexpected destination: an old haunted mansion. It’s here, they discover an escaped mental patient posing as a doctor and a ghost that both seem to be related to Tyler.”.

What was your favorite part about the play?
  • “My favorite part of this play was the people involved. The cast is full of unbelievably talented actors that I am honored to work alongside of. As well as an incredible director, crew, tech, and makeup crew. My biggest thanks are to the audience, It means the world to me to hear them laughing and enjoying the play.”

What was your favorite part about being in this year’s play?
  • “My favorite part of being in it was genuinely every aspect of it. I have dreamed of performing since I was young and this was my debut to play. Bringing family and friends together to enjoy each other’s company and laugh and enjoy a live show together in a beautiful concept. I am honored to be a part of it.”

Is there anything you would like Hawk Press readers to know?
  • “I would like to thank everyone that contributed to this play. Thank you to our director Mrs. Wilcox, for her critiques that make us better. Thank you to the construction workers that spend hours building our set. Thank you to the tech, talented makeup girls, the prop masters and a special thanks to the audience for supporting this play.”

Keep an eye and an ear out for the next Rossview Playhouse show! You won’t want to miss it!
