Drama Club Displays Special Talents

All plays were delightful comedies. Three of the plays selected were from A Funny Little Thing Called Love, by Jones Hope Wooten. The first one was called Love Is “On the Air,” starring Don and Mary Taylor, with Ronda Gunther being a roving reporter. The second of the series was called Lone Star Ladies Justice Brigade, featuring Tom Gunther, Grace Jenkins, Shirley Waterhouse, Ronda Gunther, and Michelle Boscoe. The third play was A Hono-Lulu of a Honeymoon, with Frankie Germany, Alan Stark, Andrea Fisher, Lisa Locke, Shirley Waterhouse, Gayle Brothers, and Tony Kura. The play Cruise Queens, by Clinton Festa, was selected to top off our performance, and it starred Fran Hackley, Vicki Parr, Mary Fabian, Tony Kura, and Alan Stark. Cruise Queens and A Hono-Lulu of a Honeymoon were directed by Deb Deverich. Love Is “On the Air” and Lone Star Ladies Justice Brigade were directed by Kathy Jacobs.

The purpose of the Drama Club is to: Encourage participation in the production of plays (acting, set construction, light design, and sound directing). Provide Robson Ranch Drama Club members with the necessary skills and experience in the presentation of various forms of plays and skits. Provide entertainment to the community. Attend performances and workshops outside of Robson Ranch presented by theater professionals.

If you are interested in seeing what the Drama Club is all about, behind the scenes or on stage, please attend our monthly meeting, held on the second Thursday of each month, or email President Mary Ornberg at [email protected]. We are a fun group, and we welcome everyone, with or without experience.

A Standing Ovation for Robson Ranch Drama Club

Months of effort, heart, and grace,

All came alive upon the stage.

A labor of love from a talented team,

A night to remember—a realized dream.

From the start, the journey began,

With careful choice by a guiding hand.

The play selection, keen and wise,

Ensured a show that would mesmerize.

Behind the curtains, all worked tight,

Promotions, tickets—each detail right.

Every role, though some unseen,

Made this show a flawless scene.

On stage, behind, or in the crowd,

This club should stand so very proud.

Together bound in art’s embrace,

Lifting drama to its place.

So onward, upward—take a bow!

This show is done, but listen now:

A new one waits, a tale to spin,

And you’ll shine once more—let’s begin!
