Windermere Prep taking ‘Fickle’ to stage, theater conference

The Theatre Department at Windermere Preparatory School annually produces a competitive one-act play to take to the Florida Theatre Conference. At this conference, students compete against high schools from across the state to represent Florida at the Southeastern Theatre Conference.

Windermere Prep has had success over the years, winning Outstanding One Act in 2023.

For this year’s one act, theater director BambiEllen Fadoul has selected a play, “Fickle: A Fancy French Farce,” written by American playwright Meg Miroshnik. Fadoul personally was granted special permission by Meg Miroshnik to make the necessary cuts to the play to meet the 40-minute one-act requirements of the competition.

This unique play, commissioned specifically for WPS students, also will be the world premiere for this high school one act, Fadoul said.

WPS students will perform the show at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, during a Thespian Showcase. Middle and high school performers will open the evening with selected competitive pieces, setting the stage for the high school’s performance of “Fickle.”
