...over-the-top without the sarcastic ballast of the rest of the cast. As Boo’s father Karl, Kawaller injects “Bette and Boo” with snappy humor in his snide asides. In his turn as an irreverent Catholic priest, Father Donnally, Daniel J. Wilner ’07 presents similar moments of incisive comedy.Jennifer H. Rugani ‘07 performs excellently in the role of Bette’s mother, Margaret. Rugani brings a cold presence to her character that nicely complements Margaret’s frigid personality.”Stern...
