House chairman Val Newton and committee members, Nell Heller and Geneva Peterson, graced the tables with large Christmas ornaments filled with confections. President Martha Krebs opened the meeting with a warm welcome in the spirit of the season. She turned the festivities over to program chairman of the day, Vicki Crist, who introduced a whimsical turn-of-the-century play, THE CHRISTMAS DRESS, by Paul Nolan.

Martha then turned the meeting over to chairman of the evening, Teresa Sanderson. Teresa reviewed the prestigious life and accomplishments of Sir Noel Coward and the play of the evening, FUMED OAKS. Veering from his usual sophistication, Coward pinned a whimsical but somewhat sad story of a dysfunctional family. The cast skillfully portrayed sniveling, whining, pouting, often overbearing females who taunted the father/husband/son-in-law into the ultimate action, abandonment for a life of his own. Laughter, occasional cheers, perhaps a tiny bit of sorrow for the plight of the dictatorial trio, underscored the delight of the audience with the evening’s presentation.

Meg Nesbitt began the evening’s entertainment with a delightfully upbeat piano rendition of Billy Joel’s JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. President Martha then turned the meeting over to the chairman of the evening , Joyce Stillwell. Joyce outlined the writing journey of the night’s author, the incredible Neil Simon, from pinning scripts for TV personalities to his first Broadway play, COME BLOW YOUR HORN, produced in 1961. He has delighted, and continues to delight, audiences with 33 stage play and 23 screen plays, earning a myriad of awards. The evening’s presentation, VISITOR FROM FOREST HILLS, was a selected episode from PLAZA SUITE, a bodacious romp through a pre-wedding ceremony family crises. Without a doubt, Simon would have been elated, and laughed as hard as we did, with the Ogden Drama Club’s rousing rendition of his comedy. Kudos to the cast!

We soon lost track of the reality that these were Ogden Drama Club members and giggled and uhhaed as cavorting, manipulating characters, confronted and conjoled their way through a maze of Neil Simon hilarity.
