Studying different forms of the theatre is one of the latest projects for the Drama II students. The most recent form studied is that of puppets. To create more interest in the Fr. Higgins has divided the class of 15 into three groups. Each group chooses a familiar story, or makes up one of their own, then makes their own puppets and finally gives their performance to the rest of the class. If the performances prove to be successful, they may be presented to the grade school later.
Presenting “The Fantasy World of Harry Faversham” will be Cindy Baumhover, Emily Meiners, Margie Stork, Mark Vonnahme and Rae Jean Westendorf. This is a melodrama, which takes place in medieval times. The original idea came from a song by the Cowsills and was developed into dialogue form by members of the group. Their stage will be made of a board fronting. The group will use stick puppets in their presentation.
