Comedy Reigns in the Summer Children's Production

MT43 News Staff Reporter

Miss Nelson was forced to ponder awhile before she could bring her class to order in the summer play “Miss Nelson is Missing”. Her best act was to “become” the meanest teacher in the school, Miss Viola Swamp.

Last weekend, grade school and high school students kept the audience laughing as they jumped on desks, hit each other and tore up homework. They soon learned their lesson when Miss Swamp took over the class. With the help of adults Todd Olson and Amanda Hazlett, who also directed the play, the students were brought to task. All’s well that ends well.

The summer play is a chance for students to wet their feet in acting and sometimes singing. The annual production is sponsored by Broadwater Community Theater and is supported by board members who build stage props, design flyers, programs and bring snacks and treats to keep the cast in good spirits. Saturday and Sunday’s performance was no different.

The theater would like to thank Amanda and Todd and their families for their diligence in producing the play as well as Jessica Crusch, who handled the lights and sound.

BCT sponsors include Jak’s Heating and Air, Nancy Marks, Bill Kearns Estate, Townsend Rotary, Retired Teachers Group, Jeanne Mainwaring, Ron & Mary Ann Salladay, Opportunity Bank, STOKE, Judy Schenk, Jan Hubber, Bob Saxby and John Hahn.
