Bone Chiller! : Scary but Funny

Bone Chiller! is mystery and thriller as well as comedy play that was played by our honorable varsity players. They did such a great job. I couldn't find any big mistake or flaw. When I came into the Black Box Theater to watch this show, it made me think of this winder season. I was in winter musical and was practicing really hard as one of the actors. I was looking at the stage setting and realized that this place can be changed into completely different place. I was surprised that I couldn't see or feel any trace of Spelling Bee except for some of the actors who were also doing winter drama with me.

This show was about the mysterious death of a rich guy (I don't remember the name of him) who has a large amount of heritage, and about his will that is in a puzzle form called "rebus" which is a kind of puzzle that is consisted of letters and pictures. Around 10 people gather together to find the killer and get the money. On the will, the guy said he will give all his money to the person who can decode the secret message.


Bone Chiller!, just like its title, actually chilled my bone in some scenes. Sudden light out which was the part of this show, Pippi's sudden screaming (played by Madeline Lanni) was terrifying and the scene that Lucretia (played by Dilyara Kuanysheva) hanged herself was also bone chilling. Some parts of the rebus were hard to understand but I think that was fine to follow the whole plot. I could at least see their progress on solving it and getting closer to the killer who killed the rich guy and the butler (played by Grace Greene). Although this show is classified mostly as mystery and thriller, it was funny too. A lot of characters' distinct characteristics were so funny. Especially Flame (played by Lexi Williamson) was funny. She was wearing a fancy and tight dress and put the wig on her head. The funniest thing was when she said "I teach kindergarten." And with Buzzy (played by Jack Palmer) who is a pediatrician, when they were talking about children stuff which was pretty similar.

My favorite character was the gypsy (played by Julia Rafferty). As we learned in the class before we saw the show, our teacher said that she will use Russian accent which sounds kinda weird and stiff, and because she is a gypsy, she had a special power which was highly unrealistic. Anyhow, she used that magical skill to Addie (played by Sam Weed) and put all the bullets out from Dan (played by Nadya Ponthempilly)'s gun to save everyone. It led to the ending scene which was happy. When Lucretia came back alive, people were shocked. In fact, she wasn't dead, but Buzzy, just said she is dead so the killer cannot think about kill her again. She hit (killed?) Dan's head with pan, and everything went peaceful. I loved it haha. Once again, you guys did a great job players!
