Cheaper By the Dozen is a period play by brother and sister Frank Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Cary about their real-life family of twelve children and their colorful, no-nonsense father. Dad (played by Monty Ashliman) is absolutely obsessed with efficiency and order. He is determined to see his twelve children achieve all that they can be and constantly drills them, lectures them and frowns on his eldest daughters’ awakening interest in boys. Presented to a nearly full house on April 25, the play received enthusiastic responses from an appreciative audience. Todd Charles was pleased because it was funny and kept going. It didn’t slow down. Paula Glover thought Monty was super as Dad. I liked the way he whistled and all the kids came running,” said Paula. I thought it was great. Ty Dreiling was impressed with actor Mike Starks as Joe Scales, a cheerleader. I didn't think he could act that way, said Ty. He was really crazy up there. Keri Benell who played Lillian liked everything about being part of the production. She enjoyed acting on stage, working with the other cast and crew members, and the applause. “It was wonderful,” beamed Keri. I loved it! So, it seems, did everyone else.
