Foibles and Folly - March 5 & 6, 2009
The MS Drama Production “Foibles and Folly,” presented the evenings of March 5 & 6, 2009 was a hilarious, yet heartwarming account that tells the story of teenager Amanda McGowen and her move to Distinctive Manor. There, she meets a man who walks an invisible dog, a would-be movie star, twins who speak using amusing and adorable alliteration, an elderly gentleman who hides behind the couch from “them,” an eccentric nearsighted woman who loves to sing, and a very tolerant Building Manager.
Amanda's scientist dad Peter and Uncle Brain don't help matters as they spend their time in the muddy field next door trying to develop a "super soil." The cranky owner of the building decides to sell, against the advice of her level-headed assistant, which would leave these loopy band of tenants homeless.
Peter McGown develops a plan that saves the day, convincing the developer the land causes some strange behavior, which allows the tenants to stay put. In the end, Amanda comes to tolerate and care about the tenants and decides Distinctive Manor is not that bad after all.
The cast did a fabulous job bringing all these "loopy" characters to life and made for a very enjoyable production. Congratulations to the cast, crew and directors Mrs. Judy Sytmsma and Miss Casey Strauss!
