=- -Stephanie Wessman Night and day. Black and white. The fall and winter plays. It was a given that a comedy and a tragedy would have many dif- ferences. “Im Sorry the Bridge is Out, You'll Have to Spend the Night, was a musical comedy per- ۱ formed November 4-6. Similar to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Mary Merryman (senior Cheryl Kap- lan) and John Wellgood (senior Dave White) spent a rainy night in a Spooky castle. The many one-liners which re- sulted allowed the audience to re- lease their tension for two hours. “The audience really liked ‘Bridge’ because they could get into it without having to think, junior Marit Munson said. Although the audience enjoyed E: the production, a change in curtain | time caused noticeable differences. ہے‎ todd Havbaker Instead of all performances being held in the evening as in years past, the November 6 show was at 2:00 p.m. There's a lot of passion — it’s really intense. | was proud to be a part of it.

They weren't as relaxed, Kaplan said. The audience found something to laugh about in Bridge, but the winter play made people concen- trate. Blood Wedding was perform- ed January 12-14. This Spanish tragedy, similar to “Romeo and Jul- et, demanded the actors put forth more effort and concentration. There's a lot of passion — it's really intense. | was proud to be part of it (Blood Wedding ), sophomore Todd Hawbaker said. After intense practices, Director Wayne Hank Hansen noticed con- trasts between the presentations of the two plays. The whole mood is opposite from ‘Bridge. ‘Blood Wedding de- pends on light, sound and costume — it’s highly poetic so the technical aspects are important,’ Hansen Said. While bright costumes and scenery in pastels were used in Bridge, dark outfits and little scenery were used in Wedding. The sound crew used pre-recor- dings for Bridge, but the crew- head, senior John Pursey, used his own equipment for the winter play. Im actually playing (key- boards) — | have to improvise. But | like it because the sound in the au- ditorium is so much bigger than at home, Pursey said. Other crewheads also found the winter play more demanding than Bridge. As the costume crew- head, senior Toni Jackson had trou- ble getting the costumes done on time. Its impossible to get every- thing done for the winter play. With the breaks and finals, there's never enough time, Jackson said. Being carefree or full of tension, the actors played in bright lights or dark shadows. In either case, they affected the audience's emo- tions — leaving them laughing or crying. e ٦ ke $ imn - ——————————— E = we em — — - à . p - سے‎ e = e — سه‎ — 7 M = u————— Áo — —-— M mg mmm mm - — e e - D À— gg € i €— — e —————r — — a — -
