Lewis-Palmer High school's drama department has been known for its electrifying performances, and this year's spring play is no different.

"The Beverly Hillbillies" is about a middle-aged mountain man named Jed Clampett, played by senior Graham Emmons. His daughter, Elly May, played by junior Jenny Westra, is a very attractive, yet "wanna-be" boy, who can spit 20 feet and spends her afternoons wrestling bobcats. Jed's nephew, Jethro, is played by senior Ian Reynolds. Jethro is a young, charming young man and although he isn't the brightest crayon in the box, he is an exceptional ladies' man, and is stronger than most. Granny Moses, played by senior Anika Pyle, is a hard-witted old woman, who is as go-getting as they come at 80 years of age. The family strikes oil, and heads off to Beverly Hills. They run into many obstacles, and keep the audiences laughing throughout the entire show.

The play is full of energetic and hilarious characters. Junior Nathan Worthey, says. "The play is going very well, the script is amusing, and the actors are even better." Senior Ian Reynolds states, "This has without doubt been the best production I have ever been involved in, and I know that the audience will love it." Junior Zach Pagano proclaims, "'The Beverley Hillbillies' is an amazing play, and it is fun for the entire family."
