lt's o Favorite' The general reaction to the fall play, God's Favorite, was summed up by Lori Althoff, It was one ofthe best high school plays l've ever seen! The play, written by Neil Simon, was presented on November 12, 13, and 14, 1987, by the Drama De- partment. Under the direction of Ms. Shari Mecham, this modern-day story of Job was an overall success. Bill Hagen played the religious father, Joe Benjamin, who is tested by God for his faith. The humorous messenger, Sid- ney Lipton, portrayed by Brian Kruger, gave an outstanding liveliness to the play. One ofthe greatest hardships Joe had to endure was Kris Huskinson who played Joe's wife Rose, who helped add to the comedy with her totally-materialis- tic values and ideas. David, their eldest son, is a drunkard portrayed by Sean Jen- sen. The role of the twins, Sarah and Ben, were filled by Angie Adams and Chris Mathias respectively. These two brought out comedy during the most monotonous of scenes. Utilizing childlike behavior the duo accurately took on the job of annoy- ing their father with their complete lack of observation. The servants Mady and Mor- ris were played by Shari Maroufkhani and Matt Duncan. As Ms. Mecham's first play directed at Marcos de Niza, God's Favorite was bursting with Pizazz. 5 'z A X 41 1 . ,A - p ' ,, 3 Q tt , .. , t ,,, t A or ZZ ,,, Chris Mathias, as Ben, explains the current problem of a burglary, to his twin Sarah, portrayed by Angie Adams.
