Dessert Theatre
Welcome Welcome and thank you for coming to Osborne Middle School’s first Dessert Theatre! I have truly been blessed to work with such talented, creative, kind-hearted students. Each one was hand-picked in the spring for this class and I would not trade even one of them. The students have put in many hours of hard work to bring to life this production. To the parents of these wonderful students, I greatly appreciate your support, allowing them to come in early in the mornings, stay after school, sending in desserts and snacks for the students, but must of all, for raising such wonderful young men and women. The theory behind this production is to highlight the talent of each student in scene work before we start a production with fewer lead roles so that I can work with them on skills that will transfer to any future production. We hope you will feel the energy and excitement of the mystery behind each door! - Mrs. Hatcher
