“Kingsley’s Gambit” is an original one-act play created by 19 cast members of the Weston High Theater Company.
The play is the story of a chess master, Charles Kingsley, who transfers his techniques of controlling from the chessboard to his family life. Through a mix of comedy and drama, it addresses the destructive nature of control and the nature of winning – for every win, there must also be a loss.
“Kingsley’s Gambit” has made it though the first two rounds of the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild Drama Festival, and is now one of the 14 schools to make the state finals on March 27 to 29 at the John Hancock Hall/Back Bay Events Center in Boston.
During the first round of competition at Norwood High School on March 1, seniors Alex Rougeau, Charlie Gold, James Cebulla and Sammy Hooper all received acting awards for their performances.
Weston High School hosted one of the semifinal rounds on March 22 and was one of two schools selected to move on to state finals. Garnering awards on that day for Weston were Becky Jesurum for lighting design, and Clark Eglinton, Kristen Sands, James Mullany and Michael Brown for acting. Also, Becky Jesurum won the David Dooley Award as the “unsung hero” of this round of the festival.
Weston High School takes the stage for the state finals on Friday, March 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online (http://ticketstage.com) or at the box office (cash or check only) at the corner of Berkeley and Stuart streets in Boston.
