| As a holiday gift to local and area boys and girls of all ages, the Fort Scott Community College theater department presents “All I Want for Christmas is Bigfoot’s Teeth,” a short children’s play written and directed by FSCC theater instructor Allen Twitchell.
Performance of the 25-minute play is set for 7 p.m. Friday (Nov. 11) in the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center on the FSCC campus. Admission is free.
In the play, the vain villainess Noella DeVile, who fears her looks are fading, attempts to steal Bigfoot’s teeth because they contain magical properties that enhance youth and beauty. Bigfoot, now living in a small town in Kansas after his discovery a few years ago, is assisted by a trio of local youngsters who are helping educate him as he assimilates into polite society.
This play is actually the third installment in a Bigfoot yuletide trilogy that began with “A Very Hairy Christmas” and continued with “Santa Claws is Coming to Town,” but “each play stands on its own. You don’t need to see the first two to follow the third,” Twitchell said.
The cast features Hyden Wirsig (Bigfoot), Kevin Thomure (Sgt. Kopper), Seth Lowery (Ben), Sonny Webb (Noella DeVile), Ben Wirsig (Thug 1), Paityn Curtis (Grace), Dray Dickey (Doctor Virus), Ezra Lipscomb (Jordan), Abby Sweat (Dimmer), Evan Ballinger (Darth Hunter), Khris Patel (Thug 2) and Colleen Sweat (Dim).
There is also a special cameo appearance by Santa Claus and candy for everyone following the show (courtesy of Walmart of Fort Scott).
