In the more experimental readers’ theater production of The War of the Worlds, director Darin Warnecke (LPS) and producer Josh Jensen (LPS) used a split stage to view two scenes from 1938: the radio station where Orson Welles was broadcasting an adaptation of H. G. Wells’s novel The War of the Worlds and a New York apartment where a young couple was listening to the radio broadcast and believing that the world really was being invaded by aliens. Here are the upcoming Forum productions this year: Winter Play: The Curious Savage, February 18-20 Children’s Theater: Mr. Toad’s Mad Adventures, April 14-16 Outdoor Classical Theater: Antigone, May 6-8 Next year, maybe we’ll see you on the MLC stage!
Cast of The War of the Worlds: Sam Panning (Guyer High—Denton TX), Andy Buschkopf (WISCO), Kurtis Wetzel (Kewaskum High-WI), Andrew Gerlach (WISCO), Lauren Loescher (St. Croix), Cale Mead (LPS), Nate Wordell (West), Caleb Schmiege (Lakeside), Paul Krueger (MLS), Julius Buelow (MLS)

This would be Katelynn Steinke’s (KML) hand holding a monarch butterfly that she, Laura Carter (WLA), and Carina Rahn (MVL) tagged in Flandrau State Park in September. The little stickers supplied by Monarch Watch allowed Professor Rich Ash’s ecology class to help research butterflies’ migratory patterns. “I really hope we’ll find out if our monarchs make it to their warm vacation destinations,” said Steinke.

in their own words
It gives her shivers: Chapel is one of my favorite things. Hearing the preseminary guys preach every night is awesome, and when everyone sings, knowing that we’re all praising the same almighty God, I get shivers! Profs rock: The profs at MLC are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Not only are they funny and personable, but they’re also genuinely concerned about every individual student. A number of them gave us their home phone numbers and instructed us to call if we had any questions! They’re always willing to help with a problem, whether it pertains to their class or not. Down the road: Someday I’d really like to work with inner-city children. Some of them are growing up in tough conditions, and I’d be very happy to tell them that their heavenly Father loves them more than they can imagine.
