|
It tells the story of an amnesiac, Claire (Tonia Cordova), who awakens each morning as a blank slate on which her husband, Richard (Ben Nichols) and teenage son, Kenny (Harry Goldenberg) must imprint the facts of her life. |
|
|
|
| One morning Claire is abducted by a limping, lisping man, Zach (Tariq Collins), who claims her husband wants to kill her. He takes Claire to her mother, Gertie (Rachel Borgo) who suffers from aphasia and is unable to speak clearly. |
|
| They meet Millet (Tyler Reinsma), a kind man with an apparent mental disability and often speaks using a puppet. Meantime Heidi (Kendall Goldberg), posing as a police officer, attempts to stop Richard and Kenny from reaching Claire. |
|
|
The audience views the ensuing mayhem through the kaleidoscope of Claire's world. The play culminates in a cacophony of revelations, proving that everything is not what it appears to be. The play's title "Fuddy Meers" is Gertie's attempt to pronounce the phrase "funhouse mirrors". |
 |
|
Fuddy Meers will run Tuesday & Wednesday, September 21 & 22 at 7pm in the Munster Auditorium. Tickets are $5 at the door are available at the Auditorium Box Office on performance nights or by calling: (219) 836-3200 x3245 or my email MunAud Box Office. |

Children of Eden begins at the beginning. The show opens with Father (Jonathan Wachala) seeking to "Let There Be" a universe complete with plants and animals. Not satisfied, he creates Adam (Michael Peters) and Eve (Katie Taylor), and tells them they have only to be good and grateful children. Adam assures Father that he will be "Good". |
|
|
Adam and Eve eventually eat of the Tree of
Knowledge and are tossed out of the garden. They continue life in "The
Wasteland" where their sons Cain (Chris Yothment) and Abel (Lester
Blumberg) are born.
There lives become good but Cain craves more. An amazing but frightening discovery leads to a "Clash of the Generations". Abel, loses his life in the struggle. The murderous Cain is struck down by Father with a mark his decedents will wear for generations to come Years, later, Eve recants to Father how Adam never stopped looking for Cain, but how life has moved on with their new son Seth (Ryan Pohrte). Eve then joins Father in heaven leaving the earth to the "Children of Eden" |
|
|
Act II of Children of Eden opens with a tour of the "Generations" from Adam through Noah (Steven Caraher). Following the tour, Noah speaks to Father about reconsidering his decision to flood the earth. When Father refuses, Noah continues the preparations, including seeking the right wife for his son Japheth. Japheth (Nick Estes), though knowing his wife should be of the race of Seth, falls in love with Yonah (Natalie Vick), the family servant girl who wears the mark of Cain. All chaos breaks out shortly after he announces his decision to the family. |
|
|
Yonah bravely expresses her fate being from the race of Cain and to face the coming flood with "No Stranger to the Rain". Japheth & Yonah pledge their love in "Whatever Time We Have" Fearing the flood, Japheth persuades Yonah to stow away on the Ark. After "Forty Days and Forty Nights" come and go, the family discovers her.
|
|
|
Noah, going against a clear order from Father, allows Yonah to remain and marries her and Japheth. Shortly after the wedding, the rain ends and a dove appears with an olive branch. Mama Noah (Alexa Johnson) sings of how good it is to see the sun again. The family disembarks and sets about to rebuild the world with the next generation of the Children of Eden. |

Our
Student-Directed Winter Play of Associate Director - Samantha Adler
|
|
|
February 10-12, 2011 The Munster Theatre Company of Munster High School is pleased to present its winter production, of the touching Pat Cook play, BACKSTAGE Produced by Dr. Larry A Brechner, this full-length, student-directed production will feature the solo directing debut of Josh Bobeck & Ryan Pohrte assisted by Samantha Adler.
We all know that the real drama in a theatre takes place backstage and creates quite a comedy to watch! |
|
|
Once it is discovered that Cavendish has passed away, Lou (Haley Conger), the director, assembles her production staff including, Max (Megan Miller), her stage manager and Goose (Michael Caraher), her lighting designer as to what to do with this dilemma. |
|
|
Lou calls on Ajax (Christian Fary), the understudy, to fill in who is whipped into shape by Polly (Rachel Borgo), the Assistant Director, who has a more than causal interest in him.
He reluctantly agrees, only to face nasty critics, doting mothers and one very large goon sent to collect a bundle from the great actor. |
|
|
Ajax even has to fool his own mother (Morgan Papesh), who shows up backstage to say hello to Ajax and meet the famous Cavendish! (Little does she know she achieves both of those goals at one time!) |
|
|
Lines and plot twists fly as fast as you’ll sell tickets in this theatrical farce where over-the-hill prima donnas reign — or think they do — and most of the rest of the cast is betting on who comes out on top. |
|
|

After Vandergelder storms out of the hat shop, Dolly teaches Cornelius and Barnaby how to dance then arranges for the foursome to go to dinner. Out into the streets of the city, they are all caught up in the great Fourteenth Street Association Parade. |
|
|
Because taking a
horse drawn hack or even a street car is not fashionable, the two
couples walk to the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant (most elegant and
expensive restaurant in town) in |
|

Later, Dolly is greeted by the waiters, cooks, doormen and wine stewards at the Harmonia Gardens in one of the most famous songs in the history of American musical theater, Hello, Dolly! Vandergelder discovers his two clerks have left the store in Yonkers for a night on the town in New York and promptly fires both of them. |
|
|
After a police raid where everyone is brought before a judge, only Vandergelder is jailed as Dolly tells him in song, “So Long Dearie,” about leaving him alone.
