Students, teachers, and residents of Bethel Park are on the edge of their seats waiting for the day to arrive.
Starting at 7 p.m. all three nights Nov. 7- Nov. 9, BPHS presents “The Day the Internet Died,” written by Ian McWethy and Jason Pizzarello and directed by Mr. Plummer.
“The Day the Internet Died” can best be described as “Characters from different walks of life grapple with the consequences of losing their primary means of communication, entertainment, and information. As the characters adjust to a world without the internet, they face a series of humorous and poignant situations, leading to personal revelations and a renewed appreciation for face-to-face interactions.”
What’s so special about this year’s play is that the cast is more diverse than ever, with students ranging from freshmen to seniors all contributing, including our two student directors, Haley Uselman and Sophia Brawner.
Mrs. Amy Taylor from BPTV (some might recognize her as one of BPHS’s security officers) interviewed the cast and that full video featurette is included here.
