We’re just a few days away from the first performance of Poe’s Midnight Dreary, the Halloween play being presented by First Stage Theatre at Huntington Middle School.
We have some interviews with the cast to share - up next is Halee Plybon, who plays several roles in the play.
Q: What is the play Poe's Midnight Dreary about?
Halee: The play is about Edgar Allan Poe; he is seeing a series of his writings right before he dies, and he keeps switching between his writings and reality.
Q: Tell us about the parts you play.
Halee: I play numerous roles: Zachary's Wife, Figure 1, Sailor 1, Doctor 1, and Chorus Member.
Q: Why did you want to be part of this play?
Halee: I wanted to be a part of this play because I like to act and want to gain more experience in the field of drama.
Q: Do you have a favorite scene in the play?
Halee: My favorite scene in the play is “The Tell-Tale Heart,” because it involves mystery and transformation.
Q: What shows have you done before?
Halee: I have been in other plays before First Stage. I was in Spring Hill Elementary's Music Drama for three years where we acted and sang. Those plays included: "Lights, Camera, Christmas,” "I Want a Christmas Vacation" and "Out at Seas.” With First Stage, this is my third play with them. I was in "Without Strings" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."
Q: If a kid reading this was thinking about trying out for a play, what would you tell them?
Halee: If a child wanted to try out for a play with First Stage I would tell them how fun it is and how much of an opportunity it is to act and be a part of a GREAT show.
Q: Why would you recommend Poe's Midnight Dreary?
Halee: I would recommend Poe's Midnight Dreary because it involves mystery, suspense, a bit of dark comedy, mixed in with enough creepiness just in time for Halloween.
Q: Thanks, Halee!
