Another Opening, Another Show Fantastiks was the other successful musical Cooper’s Drama department produced. With the direction of John Cunningham and Hal Wildung, Fantastiks was able to do four outstanding performances. Fantastiks is a story of love between Matt. (Scott Riddle) and Luisa. (Lisa Kottke). Their fathers Hucklebee, (Craig Hennen)and Bellomy. (Bob Thoe), are pretending to feud so Matt and Luisa will want to get married. They built a wall between their yards to keep them apart. In order to get the families together, the fathers arranged to have a fake abduction. That was so Matt and Luisa wouldn’t get suspicious. This involved other characters, El Gallo, (Steve Gorsky), Hen , (Brad Peterson), and Mortimer. (Jim Moat). There is also a mute. (Todd Hildebrandt), who provided the props. With the cooperation of everyone involved, the Fantastiks turned out to be another excellent show put on by Cooper's hardworking drama department. 6 7 Musical 29
