Robl Family Players
Children at the Centennial Celebration acted out the story of Franz and Katherine’s immigration to the USA while Sarah L. read from “Kottie’s Wait,” the story she wrote for a University class about Katherine’s voyage. From left to right, Mary Claire was an adorable Barbara; Payton responsibly played responsible Mary; Alexandra (holding William, the doll) portrayed Kottie (Katherine); and John played Franz. Quick-change Kendra had two roles: her great-great grand father, Wenzel, and Hattie, a fictitious character. Ben ably stamped the passport as the immigration officer, and Kyra, just as ably, delivered the doll as the ship’s midwife. Finally reluctant Ryan was led on and off the stage as Joe. All the attendees enjoyed the play and appreciated the fine efforts of the cast.
