Is He Dead?

Few artists throughout history are remembered for who they are rather than what they created. In the case of the main character of “Is He Dead” has neither fame for his art or himself. The ALHS spring play follows the story of Millet/Daisy Tillou portrayed by junior Kyle Nelson. Millet being a struggling artist whose paintings are not selling well unsurprisingly.
“I’m excited and nervous to play Millet because I have to walk in heels,” explained Nelson.
In a last ditch attempt to gain recognition for his artwork, Millet fakes his death and masquerades as a woman to sell his pieces to made sure no one would recognize the supposedly dead artist. Soon Millet comes to find out faking your death isn’t all acrylics and watercolors.
“The plot is about unfolding his lie and how the other characters come to realize he’s not dead,” said junior Carine Rofshus who plays Madame Caron in the play. “It’s kind of secretive, very humorous though.”
This dark comedy is directed by Mr. Anderson and will be performed by the students from May 4-6.
“Expect to laugh until you cry,” said Nelson. “Prepare for awkwardness.”
