"Take me to the cat in pajamas!" said the character Adolfo played by Nate Myers. Every time that character came on stage and said that line, I couldn't stop laughing especially when he said "Whaat?"

  

The cast did a terrific job at portraying each of the characters. Tanner Hafen, who played the man in the chair, gave of each individual character, with silly side comments here and there that really made the audience laugh hysterically.
  

Also, there were two gangsters pretending to be cooks played by Michael Graf and Austin Hodges. These two characters had crazy ways to use the types of food into their lines like when Michael's character says, "I hope we are éclair," after he said that, it made me laugh.
  

The drowsy chaperone was played by Janae Klumpp and she was very convincing trying to portray a character that drinks a lot.

This year is an extremely exciting one because Dixie has been scheduled to put on a new play that it has never done before.

Dixie will be the first school in Southern Utah to put on Drowsy Chaperone, which in itself is bragging rights.

Drowsy Chaperone will be an extremely exciting performance since it is new to the school.

This play originated in 1997 when writer Bob Martin created a skit honoring his friend, Martin and his then fiancee, Janet Van De Graaff, as a wedding gift. Among his group of friends were Lisa Lambert, Greg Morrison, and Don McKellar. This rather quirky forty minute musical spoof would later become the full-length musical we now know.
