With a thick plot and interesting characters, the French comedy “The Madwoman of Chaillot” is a must see.
Senior Haley Karlson, who plays the lead role, “The Madwoman,” reveals a snippet of the play, which is based in Paris in during post World War II.
“My role, the Madwoman of Chaillot, also known as the Countess, is an eccentric, kind-hearted, wise, clever old woman who attempts to do away with all the evil of the world,” Karlson said.
A four-year thespian at Silverton High School and president of the Silver Masked Thespian Society, Karlson said it was a challenge to tackle this character and “a joy, because it is the deepest and most multi-dimensional character I've ever played, and it has allowed me a chance to really grow as an actor.”
The play is: 7 p.m. Feb. 25 and 26; 2 p.m. Feb. 27 and 7 p.m. March 3, 4 and 5 at Silverton High School Theatre, 1456 Pine St. Tickets: $5 for adults, $3 for children and seniors.
