The Whitewater High School Players will be performing “The Good Doctor” in the James M. Stewart Auditorium at WHS on Feb. 27 & 28 and Mar. 1 at 7 p.m., and Mar. 2 at 2 p.m.
General seating tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students. For more information call the box office at 262-472-8178.
Written by Neil Simon, “The Good Doctor” is charming, hilarious, sad, and touching. It consists of a series of short plays, based on short stories by Russian author Anton Chekhov. The scenes, when experienced one after another, give you a strong sense of Chekhov’s take on the human condition, embellished by Simon’s wit and pithy dialogue. The Writer is the one unifying element in the scenes, introducing and commenting on them. The audience meets a variety of characters, all of whom are immediately relatable and strikingly human.
Under the direction of Jim McCulloch, the cast includes Ian Agen, Deven Bawden, Alex Clarksen, Belle Cohen, Payton Comfort, Esterban Diaz-Gallegos, Joseph Falcon-Kienbaum, Haley Keltesch, Ameera Lin, Sam Nickelsburg, Sophia Noonan, Kia Peterson, Julian Rennels, Taylor Speerbrecher, Ava Van Daele, and Willow Vogelzang.
Members of the stage crew under the guidance of Kat Dunham include Caitlin Alford, Emerson Dunham, Calli Hartzheim, Taiya Kolb, Kara Long, Miles Nickelsburg, Ava Nygren, Joshua Nygren, Lucille Troxel and Samantha Van Daele.
Prior to the start of “The Good Doctor,” Tom Ganser’s photos of the WHS Players productions of “Cinderella” (2022), “A Murder is Announced” (2023), and “Our Town” (2024) will be shown.
