    FCPS Theatre Folks
    Around the Town

    Three FCPS students are making their professional acting debut in “Life with Father” at The American Century Theater. Billy Puschel, a senior at James Madison High School and Fairfax Academy for Communications and the Arts, is playing John, the second son. Paul Hogan, an 8th grader at Joyce Kilmer Middle School, is playing Whitney, the third son. Scott Clark, a 6th grader at Haycock Elementary School, is playing the youngest son, Harlan. In addition, the set is being designed by TACT veteran Trena Weiss-Null, drama teacher at George C. Marshall High School. The classic family comedy is the longest running play in Broadway history and has been called “the play every American must see, like the Washington Monument or Niagara Falls.” The show, directed by Rip Claassen, opens November 25 and runs through January. Founded in 1994, The American Century Theater promotes 20th century theater as a vital part of our cultural dialogue. Children under 18 are free when accompanied by an adult, and TACT also sponsors a “Pay What You Can” (PWYC) preview the night before opening. In addition, all Wednesday performances are PWYC. Tickets are available online at www.americancentury.org or by calling

    703-998-4555.
