Middle school entertains with Creepy Campfire Tales
RE's middle schoolers acted out the frightening stories told around a campfire in Creepy Campfire Tales, from the tale of the giant teddy bear that gobbled up mean girls to the yarn about the haunted blanket that terrorized babysitters. The stories shared on a scary night with lost summer camper, Maryam Astorga '28, were as funny as they were creepy, and the play concluded with a surprising twist at Swenson Hall Oct. 26-28.

More than two dozen students shared the spotlight, and director Gina Montet made a point of introducing the entire student production team and backstage crew to applause before the play began. After stumbling into a group of summer campers at Camp Yaputka, Astorga was persuaded to hang around and listen to tales told by her new campmates – Izzy Stewart '28, Daniel Fernandez '27, Allegra Orlofsky '28, Dexter Falk '28 and Lilah Murphy '27.
A host of students played major roles in the four stories shared around the campfire. See the full cast below.
"Here at Ransom Everglades, we take tremendous pride in the fact that all of our shows are 100 percent student run," Montet said before the show on Oct. 27. "We adults just make sure their shoes are tied and they don't run with scissors; everything else is up to them ... You are going to see some really fun stuff tonight."
