Wenzel: ‘Bon Appetit, Julia!’ staged at Fall Tea

MARLBOROUGH – “Bon Appetit, Julia!” was on the menu at the Fall Tea presented by the First United Methodist Church, 52 Church St., “Women Helping Others.”

Staged by the Delvena Theatre Company, the live performance featured the late Julia Child, in 1989, as she promoted her new book, “Way To Cook.” This is a sequel to the popular “Meet Julia Child!” show also presented by Delvena.

The interactive fun show featured Lynne Moulton as Julia and Joseph Zamparelli as Joe.

The tea was well attended by local residents who not only enjoyed the presentation but also enjoyed a light buffet featuring sandwiches, quiche, fruit, wonderful desserts and of course tea.

THE MARLBOROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION loves the work that Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School students are doing around the city. Most recently, Painting & Design students could be spotted painting the Walker Building gazebo. These students are being prepared for the workforce with real experience in the community.
