According to the website www.pioneerdrama.com, the play Trouble in Paradise Junction is a love letter to small town life. Paradise Junction Is the best little town in the world. A TV network offers to film a reality show in their town, and the townsfolk are all over it. They took the opportunity, especially since the town will receive 5 million dollars. But host Wink Smiley (played by Walter Morgenroth) has his own agenda. Secrets are revealed, old feuds are brought back and the town's annual pie baking contest is turned into a food fight. Now it's up to Joe Goode, owner of Rise’ and Shine Diner, to save the town. Will he find a way to stop Wink or will the residence be tricked into destroying their beloved town on live television?
Mr.Goolsby describes this play as “a comedy with a lesson,” “to just be yourself. People are trying to be somebody else and are changing.”
Main characters:
Joe- Logan Claassen-Wilson
Wink Smiley- Walter Morgenroth
Mayor Flow- Makayla Stein and Elena Heatwole
Martha- Caroline Scarbrough and Lauren Hulshof
Horace- Gabe Hunter
Polly- Karsyn Robertson and Elizabeth Hare
Tina Powers- Jazzlyn Fowler and May Gao
When asked why students should see the show, Mr. Goolsby said, “Cause it will be fun and a ton of your classmates are in it and if football or tennis isn't your thing then it's a good thing to come and support your friends.”
Special thanks to Mr. Goolsby’s 5th hour class for creating the set of the play.
