“The play is very comedic,” said seventh grader Grace Parker, who plays the princess.

Ms. Kay Meyer, this year’s director, looks forward to the play.

“I am loving it! The middle school cast are creative, energetic, and are lovable kids who bring joy and laughter to my day. I really appreciate the opportunity Faith has given me to direct this show,” said Meyer.

This is Meyer’s forty-ninth production. She did forty-seven of them in Dallas, Texas. Her forty-eighth was helping out with last year’s middle school musical, “A Year With Frog And Toad.”

“We have a really talented cast,” Parker said.

According to seventh grader Talina Hajar, who plays the Evil Fairy and the Queen of the West, the cast has been “practicing for hours”. Seventy-four students tried out this year.

“The hardest part about the play was that I had to turn away forty people,” said Meyer. “The Princess Who Had No Name” will show on November 8 and 9 as well.
