An event enjoyed annually by the children of Warren Township is the children ' s theater production of the Warren Central Drama Department. What do you get when you cross a gingerbread house, eight young actors, and the script of a German folktale? The children’s play “Hansel and Gretel”, of course. The cast performed the play three times for the children of Warren Town- ship on September 15. It was noticed that in the crowd were children ranging from three to 73, all enjoying the play. Spices flew as the horribly wicked witch, Laura Guyer, exchanged harsh words with the Cuckoo Bird, senior Renee Miceli, Hansel, junior Dave Duncan, and senior Diane Timmerman. Preparing for the play consumed the entire summer and the first three weeks of school. The cast members felt the time was well worth the effort because of the large number of children that ap- peared in the auditorium. “I enjoyed entertaining the kids,” said Dave Duncan. “Children are a receptive audience, especially when it comes to fairy tales.” After each performance, the young- sters scrambled onto the stage to meet the play’s characters. Each child also received a balloon, punch and cookies as he left the auditorium, making the en- joyment of the performance complete. You wouldn’t ? Hansel (Dave Duncan) and Gretel Blue Queen. Junior Andrea Stoeffler plays the role of the good queen who makes the story end “happily ever after.” (Diane Timmerman) can’t believe that the mean old witch (Laura Guyer) will bake them in her oven.
