Senior Emily Krueger (center) portrays the Wood County clock tower in the vignette “The Clock Tower Birds” in the BGHS Drama Club’s original production “Swamped!”The Bowling Green High School Drama Club will present an encore performance of its hit production “Swamped!” on April 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the junior high school auditorium. Although the performance is free, the club will be accepting donations to benefit the Wood County Humane Society.“Swamped!” features nine stories significant to Bowling Green’s history: How the Swamp Was Drained, How Bowling Green Got Its Name, The Fight For the County Seat, The Clock Tower Birds, The Great Glass Boom, The Great Depression Hits Bowling Green, The POW Camp, The Pretty Boy Floyd Shoot-Out, and The Blizzard of ’78.The cast researched the facts through books and other materials archived at the Wood County District Public Library, interviews with members of the Wood County Senior Citizens’ Center, and exhibits at the W.W. Knight Preserve in Perrysburg.Once the cast had the facts, members fleshed out the stories by integrating imagination, humor, and creative movement, according to club adviser Jo Beth Gonzalez.“Swamped!” is an example of a grassroots theatre project. In grassroots theatre, the production is often created in partnership with other community organizations. In this case, the play was organized for the sole purpose of celebrating the 175th anniversary of Bowling Green. The people who are the subjects of the work — in this case, residents of Bowling Green — are part of the play’s development from inception through presentation.“Swamped!” has offered 23 teens in grades 7-12 a hands-on way of exploring the history of their community and the discovery that quite a lot of exciting incidents fostered the growth of Bowling Green.Actors include Brianna Willinger, Jeff Malanga, Dylan Stretchbery, Mary Sundermeir, Layan Elwazani, Monica Gonzalez, Emily Krueger, Rebecca Szparagowski, Darien Ankney, Rachel Rine, Jackie Skoog, Sean Gorant, Jordan McKinney, Kapil Melkote, Elizabeth Myerholtz, Justin Betancourt, Trina Friedberg, John Wade, Veronica Gonzalez, Emily Kleine, Emily Myerholtz, Emily Meyer and Brittany Willinger.Zack Doane is stage manager and Brigitte Reinke operates lights and sound.
