The Catherine Fosket Children’s Theatre Plans Weekend Productions

The Catherine Fosket Children’s Theatre will present “Book Reports of Destiny” by Dean O’Carroll and “Dummest Play Ever” by Brian D. Taylor, in three performances on Jan. 26-28.

Show times are 7 :30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 26 and 27, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28, at the Liederkranz, 403 W. First St.
In “Book Reports of Destiny,” when the students in Ms. Kim’s class present their book reports, anything can happen as they come to life onstage. These three parodies of beloved books and genres are sure to have audience members rolling in the aisles.

The “Dummest Play Ever” is a series of silly scenes that will have audiences laughing at the “dumbness” in everything. The real question, in the end, is about what matters most. And while we can do dumb, goofy things at times, we all offer something of value, as well.
 
Angie Liske and Steven Gobel are the directors and Jeanee Mueller Fossberg, Producer. Children in grades 3rd through 8th will perform in this production.

Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults; children 3 and younger admitted at no charge. Ticket are available at Ace Hardware and will be available at the door.

The Catherine Fosket Liederkranz Children’s Theatre is named after the late Catherine Fosket, a retired teacher who directed the first children’s theater at the Liederkranz in 1990. Fosket was also heavily involved in the Grand Island Little Theatre and the Grand Island Parks and Rec Department’s summer children’s theater production. After her death in 1994, her family requested the children’s theater production at the Liederkranz continue in her honor. Proceeds from this annual production are used to fund a scholarship established in her name.
