The Drama Club Performs “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon”

The Drama Club Performs “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon”

The Slings & Arrows Players delivered a joyful performance of this year's fall play, "The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon," on November 7 and November 8, 2025, in the West Campus Theater. “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” is a marathon of the Brothers Grimm fairytales. There’s drama, blood, intrigue, love, and death all in one sparkling package. This play, written by Don Zolidis and inspired by the 209 Brothers Grimm fairytales, is a lighthearted show with fun for the whole family. It’s dark and deranged, where you’ll never sleep well again. There’s fighting and monsters and battles and darkness and - Well, whichever description you prefer, this show has energy and lots of fairy tales.

The actors and the crew excelled under the guidance of faculty member Amber Crossman in her first production as Director of St. Sebastian’s Drama Program. A special thank you to the many supporters of the Drama Club, especially faculty and staff members here at St. Sebastian’s and the parents and guardians of our actors and tech crew. Special shoutouts to Brian, Doug, Paul, and the entire Facilities Team, Paul Rossini, Jean Ryan, Jay Wu, Father John Arens, Kristen Mazzocchi (NHS Faculty), and 4Wall Entertainment. Congratulations to all for a job well done!
