PHS Theatre to present Big Fish
Graphic /Emma DiPuma
By Tom DiPuma

If you think musicals are
stuffy, and all about New
York, then finally, this is the
show for you!
Big Fish the musical was
adapted by John August and
Andrew Lippa from Denial
Wallace’s 1998 Big Fish: A
Novel of Mythic Proportions,
and its 2003 film adaptation
directed by Tim Burton. The
show, simply put, is the tale
of Edward Bloom, a teller of
tall tales in the most Southern
sense, and his son Will who
has grown cynical about his
father’s endless supply of
fantastical adventures. If you
like combread, beans with
greens on the side, then this
show will have you toe tap
ping, laughing, crying and
hollering-sometimes all at the
same time. If you think I am
being overly exuberant, let
me tell you about the circus,
witches, giants, mermaids,
time stopping love, and the
secret every of fisherman’s
dreams....
Better yet, save the dates,
April 20 and 21,7 p.m. at the
Pickens High School Per
forming Arts Center and
April 22 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.,
tickets will be available at the
door.
The award winning cast
includes leads: Senior Jack-
son Melton as Edward
Bloom, Junior Nicholas
DiPuma as Will, and Sopho
more Lila McArthur as San
dra Bloom. Featured
performers include: Senior
Mallory Wheeler playing
Josephine Bloom, Senior
Ethan Gollahon portraying
Karl, Freshman Nathan
Hamilton as Don Price, Jun
ior Olivia Prather as the
Witch, Senior Hanna Kozma
as Dr. Bennett, Freshman
Jacob McCormick as Young
Will, Senior Jesse Vaughn as
Zachy Price, and a special
guest performance by Keith
Petty as Amos Calloway.
This is your chance to
enjoy a southern fried, mud
stomping musical! I can’t
promise boiled peanuts in the
concession stand, but this
will be show to remember!
