Dessert Theater Treats Audience

Tari Burger’s advanced drama students performed four one-act plays in the annual “Taste of Niwot” presentation. Cookies were prepared by Nicole Endres’ Food Science classes and served during intermission.

The first play, “The Whole King Albertway Market,” was written and directed by seniors Johnny Cooper and Hannah Sieben. It was a parody on grocery store shopping.
Senior Hannah Fisher gave a comic impression of a coupon-crazed shopper trying to save a penny. Seniors Robert Haisfield and Coleman Wenzl portrayed the store manager and cashier.

Haisfield deftly depicted the overbearing manager, while Wenzl evoked empathy from the audience as the overworked cashier trying to please his boss and the customers.

All four plays were comedies, but the third, called “The Apple,” included an impersonation of Lady Gaga by senior Alejandro Garcia that brought the audience to unbridled laughter.
Proceeds from the performances will be used for the advanced drama class’s Christmas Adopt-a-Family; family career community leader of America community school services and conferences; and to maintain the auditorium for school and community performances.
