Colonel Players cast members Alexa Rowe and Jacob Williamson made the EKDAS Top 10 Mountain Cast. Amber Meadors was awarded Parent of the Year for her volunteer services. Director of Colonel Players David Sweet was presented with the EKDAS Lifetime Achievement award for his many years of contributions to the drama society. \u201cThis award is not for me, but for all the drama students I have had the pleasure to know and love and work with for the last 18 years,\u201d said Sweet. He continued, \u201cThis Class of 2018 have especially worked hard for the last four years and have been very special to my journey, and I love them very much and am so proud of them.\u201d \u201cEKDAS has given our students at Whitley a place to shine and to show them the opportunities and capabilities they have,\u201d said Sweet. The production of Mmmbeth! was written by Allison Williams, is described as a hilarious mixed-gender take on the Scottish play. Everything goes wrong. The witches take over the storytelling, Queen Duncan would rather open a donut franchise than die, Lady M\u2019s a bloodthirsty June Cleaver, and the murderers are preoccupied with creating a commercial for their services. &nbsp;"}
