Sybil Bruncheon's "Christmas Bulletins From Out & About"... Wauseon, Ohio...
/Breaking News from the Wilbur Wallerburton Elementary School Variety Players...
Mr. Herman Grabner, the drama teacher, has announced that for the Christmas Nativity Pageant, the role of King Herod will be played by Jeffy Chalmers because of his prematurely matured basso-baritone voice, and because his Ramses II costume is as close to a Judean King as the school can get right now with budget cuts.
Other cast members in the production include Carl Turph as Joseph, Mabel Haslip as the Virgin Mary, Georgie Malk as the sullen Innkeeper, his twin sister Inez as his grumpy wife, and Hester Dupling, Phil Kaston, Vera Buj, Nancy-Ann Norris, Perkin Gimph, Debbie Marcos, and several other grade schoolers as villagers, shepherds, local Bethlehem business persons, concerned and sore-afraid bystanders, and various animals milling about the stable, climbing over fences, and head-butting an annoying drummer boy, etc. The Hazleton triplets will play the three wise men; Stella, Dee-Dee, and Shirley-Jo as Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar respectively…
Felix Mamburton returns yet again as the Angel of the Lord because of his unusual soprano voice which is still going strong even though Felix just celebrated his 17th birthday. Showtimes are at 6 and 10 with a cookie and hard cider reception after the later performance and a meet-the-cast question and answer symposium till midnight. Reservations are recommended… but may be ignored.
