LA PORTE CITY – Union High School’s drama department staged the science fiction comedy “Adventure” by JD Atkins on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15 at Matt Auditorium. Under second-year director Holden Caloud, the two-act show featured seniors Jersey Siech, Addie Engle, and Ella Grote in the lead roles of Captain Adrian Key, Commander Quinn, and Lieutenant Dorian, respectively. Per the publisher’s play synopsis: “Welcome aboard the Starship Adventure! For 100 missions, Captain Adrian Key and the Galactic Voyagers have ventured into deep space on missions of science and discovery – that is, until High Command decides to convert the aging Adventure into a cruise ship for galactic tourists. When the Voyagers ferry these unwelcome guests – as well as an upstart Lieutenant trying to usurp command – to Captain Key’s forced retirement party, a mysterious computer malfunction sets their final flight on a collision course with a gravity well. Can the Voyagers fix their beloved ship in time to avert disaster, even as a tourist revolt threatens to scuttle their efforts? Whatever the outcome, it is sure to be an ADVENTURE to remember!”
