Four weeks into rehearsals, the students of the Eastlake High School drama club are well on their way to presenting their fall show for the 2014-2015 school year.

The show, the first for new volunteer director Rick Eames, is called “The Bold, The Young, and the Murdered.” It opens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20.

“It’s ‘Clue’ meets ‘Soapdish’,” Eames said. “It’s a soap opera and a murder mystery wrapped up into one big ball.”

Chosen by the students, “Murdered” focuses on characters performing on a soap opera which faces cancellation, when someone begins killing people during filming.

“I actually picked the show, and I really like it because it is different,” Eastlake junior and third-year Drama Club member Emma Santos said. “It’s comedic, but there’s also murder in there … there is a lot of jokes the older audience will get, but the younger audience will also like it because it is really funny.”

“It’s really different from everything else, and it will be really entertaining to watch,” she said.

The drama club has been performing since the school opened in 1994, and is advised by Eastlake High School teacher Rochelle Horner.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $7 for Eastlake students, teachers, and senior citizens. The play will run Nov. 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., and a matinee Nov. 22 at 1 p.m.
