Water for Elephants, based on the bestselling novel by Sara Gruen, is a dazzling, heart-filled musical about Jacob (senior Andrew Hudson), a young man desperate to escape his past, who jumps aboard a moving train uncertain of the road ahead. Finding himself on the ride of a lifetime, Jacob joins the colorful company of a traveling circus. The cast of characters includes Walter the clown (senior Vee Reese), Camel (junior Logan Liptak), Barbara (sophomore Anna O’Connell) and her Bally Broads (Lexi Bentz and Zoe Kramer) and August’s right hand man Wade (played by senior Brian Dallke). Jacob is eventually hired by the imperious ringmaster, August( played by senior Titus Smith), as the Benzini Brothers Circus vet. Jacob soon develops an unspoken attraction to the star performer, Marlena (senior Kaeleigh Krepp), who happens to be married to August. When a last-ditch effort to save their struggling show brings an elephant into the troupe, Marlena and Jacob draw dangerously close, forever changing the circus’s fate. Sophomore Shimon Smith plays the older version of Jacob Jankowski and recounts the tale to our audience as the Field High School Drama Club proudly presents: Water For Elephants!
