BHS Spring Play: Sympathy Jones, The New Secret Agent Musical Mikayla Kraft, MT43 News Correspondent The Spring Play at BHS was named Sympathy Jones, The New Secret Agent Musical originally written by Brooke Pierce. The music, lyrics, and concept were written by Masi Asare. The story was written in the 1960s and still brings so much joy to the community. In the plot, Sympathy Jones, the secretary of a spy agency, has had a lifelong dream of becoming a secret agent. After her boss denies her the promotion, a confidential file “accidentally” lands on her desk. She hides the file and gains all of the information she can. She turns rogue and tries to solve the drastic issue by herself.
The lead role, Sympathy Jones, was played by senior Cassidy Johnson. Her acting and singing talent made her the perfect fit for the role. She brought a smile to everyone’s faces and served as an amazing actor throughout her high school years and will be missed. Nick Steele was played by junior Aiden Easter. His easy-going humor was performed smoothly and made the whole audience laugh. Ann and one of the S.C.R.A.T.C.H. Agents were played by Nykia Mondragon. Nykia surprised everyone with a change of sides during the play and gave no hint of it, showing her acting talent. The PR Person, Rose Pinkerton, and a S.C.R.A.T.C.H. Agent were played by Jenna Mainwaring. Her quick change and adaptation to roles kept the audience from realizing that each role was played by the same person! Richard Oscill was played by senior Jonah Wishman. His sarcastic remarks throughout the play and his relatability made it amazing to watch. He was a great show of talent throughout the years and will be missed. Tick Tock was played by senior Kayden Greene. He fully embraced the “mad scientist” character and made everybody’s spines shudder. Scarlett McDaniel played Doris and the last of the S.C.R.A.T.C.H. Agents. Her dramatic falls and timid excitement made the crowd roar with laughter. We cannot wait to see her in additional plays. Caprice Nova was played by Jazlyn Martin. Her astounding sense of style and incite were enlightening to the whole cast and audience. The next two years will be exciting as Jazlyn grows her acting skills. The President was played by senior Will Lynde. His voice impressions threw off the whole audience and his adaptation to his role made the audience feel like it was real life. He was laughter and a spotlight on that stage and will be missed! Kitty Hawk was played by senior Kailey Knaub. Her singing and acting talent wowed the entire crowd. She has been an amazing actor for BHS and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. It was directed by Denise Bakkum, choreographed by Amanda Hazlett, and the lights/sound was controlled by Caleb Lelacheur. Set construction was done by Kory Bakkum.
