Blue Ribbons by Waunakee graduate, Thomas Bakken
Directed by Hannah Nies, Waunakee graduate
Blue Ribbons is a comedy about two women who fiercely compete as pie-making contestants at a county fair. After 20 years of competition, they’re in a 10-10 tie for taking first-place honors. One of the women announces retirement, hopefully putting an end to the two-decade old grudge. Chaos ensues when she changes her mind about retiring from the competition. From then on, the audience can’t stop laughing. Fisticuffs, jail time and strained family relations are just some of the results of the clash of egos.
We're excited to be producing this play for only the 2nd time! The world premiere was held this past May/June at Ripon Area Community Theatre We're also delighted to feature several Waunakee community members in this production!
