The Plainview Pirate one act troupe will be holding a public performance in the coming week or so to prepare for the District tournament on Dec. 2.
The date was not ready for press time this week, so watch the school’s social media for the announcement.
This year’s performance of “The Wild Bunch Women” by Nelly E. Cuellar-Garcia, is directed by instructor Wynter Fulsaas, and features a cast of near 30 students. Trynity Wingert is assistant director.
Plainview will compete in the C2-3 District this year for One acts, and the performances will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Creighton Public Schools on Dec. 2. All the performances are open to the public.
Other schools in the district are Cedar Catholic, Stanton, Creighton, Neligh-Oakdale, Boyd County, Ainsworth and Bloomfield.
From the “Wild Bunch Women” book jacket:
“The Wild Bunch Women were known throughout the Old West as cattle rustlers, stagecoach bandits, and bank robbers... but to Pearl Hart, they were family. Years later, Pearl revisits her time leading the fiery band of female outlaws, and the fateful day they travel to a small Texas town to cross the border and start fresh. But the past is not so easily outrun, and it's not long before a group of angry nuns, a local girl with an unlikely connection to the outlaws, and an emissary from Pearl's old flame Jesse James close in on the Wild Bunch for one final showdown. Joy, sorrow, and the spirit of the old West fill this poignant, award-winning play.”
