Bernie, Missouri – The Bernie High School Drama Department presents a play, “Alfred Hitchcock Taught Me Everything I Know,” by Pat Cook.  The Drama Department is lead by Mrs. Kristy Bates.

The story is about Maura Milton who applies for a bookkeeper’s job at the home of one Tyrone Bartholomew.  However, she soon finds out there isn’t one Tyrone Bartholomew but many.  This spry old actor relishes life and flies from one character to another whenever dealing with the outside world. 

Maura wants to prove that she can stand on her own two feet and in between dodging gangsters with guns and a wild-eyed lady with an ax, she starts to question her career choice.  It is only when the police arrive that she questions Tyrone. 

It’s a comedy, drama and little bit of mystery all thrown together to keep the audience guessing until the end.

Carl Voss will be staring at Tyrone Bartholomew with leading lady Sarah Elles as Maura Milton.  The following is a list of Bernie students who will be acting in the play and the characters they will be portraying.

Jeff Cox as Roger Lambert
Jordan Webb as Mrs. Goodman
Amber Miller as Mrs. Dinstitch
Ryan Dennington as Scotty
Stephanie Hill as Trudy Hambrick
