Theater returns to Hazen with new musical comedy

By Daniel Arens
After a long hiatus, the local community theater organization is returning to the stage this year.
The Sakakawea South Shore Theater is putting together a performance of “The Addams Family.” Rehearsals began in mid-May, with performances scheduled for the upcoming week.
Shows will be held Thursday, June 24 through Sunday, June 27. There will be 7 p.m. performances Thursday through Saturday, with the Sunday performance at 2 p.m. All shows will be at the Hazen High School Theater.
“It’s been really good,” Ashley Schrenk, director, said. “We have a really wide experience range, from first years trying it out to veterans that have done this often.”
Kynlee Plienis, from Beulah, is one of the newcomers to the stage this year. She is playing the part of Pugsley Addams.“I’ve liked it,” she said. “My favorite part is probably the solo I get to sing.”
