UNION CITY — Jose Marti Freshman Academy in Union City will put on the comic murder-mystery play “Who’s Next?” on May 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. The cast of 12 students has been rehearsing after school since January.
English teacher and director Randy Pradera wrote “Who’s Next?” himself. He said sometimes plays need more adjustments for a freshman cast and audience, and he decided writing one would be easier and require less editing.
Dawn Cardona, a reading teacher at West New York Middle School, and Jose Marti Freshman Academy Principal Rudy Baez helped Pradera write and edit the story. Cardona also helped with the shopping and set painting.
“Who’s Next?” takes place in a lodge to which all the characters have been invited for different reasons. As the story progresses, characters get mysteriously killed, one by one. The writers and editors made sure to add silly jokes and references to make it comedy-worthy.
Tickets can be purchased at the door of Jose Marti Freshman Academy cafeteria at 1800 Summit Ave, Union City Friday and Saturday May 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. for $5 for students and $10 for adults.
