With sinister intent, Bad Bunny planned to spoil an Easter festival Wednesday.

The arch rival of Good Bunny, Bad Bunny watched as his rival hid eggs for the coming festival in the Little Theater at Southwest Junior High School. Good Bunny and his assistant seemed so delighted.

&uot;Let’s party,&uot; Good Bunny said.

But perennial party squashers, Bad Bunny and his assistant stole the eggs. Among the first-grade audience, boos and laughter were heard as Bad Bunny ran off with the eggs.

&uot;What are we going to do,&uot; one party enthusiast said before spotting Bad Bunny. &uot;Get him!&uot;

After a short, humorous chase, the captured egg thief apologized for his misdeed. As punishment, each of the partiers were allowed to throw one egg at Bad Bunny.

&uot;Let’s party.&uot;

Original productions

The above scene was part of a play, &uot;Easter Festival&uot; written by Southwest student Tiffany Thompson, who decided to take John Nevins’ elective drama class at Southwest this spring.

Nevins’ class also preformed &uot;The Bad Bunny&uot; written by Kayla Klukow Wednesday. Sibley Elementary first-graders attended the plays, both with Bad Bunny characters.

&uot;The kids did it all,&uot; Nevins said of his class. &uot;They wrote the plays. They acted. They did the scenery.&uot;

About two times a semester, Nevins’ drama students perform their origanal productions for the Sibley students.

They also read to first-graders and perform other skits.

&uot;They know these kids well because they go over there (to Sibley) and read to them,&uot; Nevins said.

Thompson said writing for a first-grade audience was a new experience. Thompson and Klukow each spent about one week writing the plays.

Both productions took about two weeks to prepare.

&uot;I usually don’t write plays,&uot; she said. &uot;I’m more into poetry. The hardest part is cooperation and getting them all to work on their lines.&uot;

While the plays obviously delighted the younger students, the actors also had fun, said Travis Armstrong, Good Bunny.

&uot;We have a lot of fun acting,&uot; he said.
