Musical Sings The Praises When I am on stage, I ' m not Rex Berry, I am the character I am playing. Rex Berry, senior. M ot many people really l l knew what went into the ™ musical each year at Ar- lington. So this year, the Simba Kali staff went back stage with the cast of the 1988 musical, Oklahoma! The first step in arranging the musical was tryouts. The musical was made up of the drama, band, and choir depart- ments along with other volun- teer students of any grade lev- el. When I heard that AHS was putting on Oklahoma! I tried out, because I love the musical and love to act, explained freshman. Shelly Simmons. I tried out in all three cate- gories (dance, singing, and script) because I felt that I was pretty good in all but one of the three categories. I felt that by hT NT»ll character, Mark Russo tries on his shirt for the play. Mark ' s character, Jud Frye, is a mean, ruthless villian. mamma B y ow ner and David Merrill became better friends during the musical. One great thing about the musical is that it began relationships that continued after the performances ended. doing this it gave me a part I didn ' t expect but am happy with, stated Kim Henly, junior. The cast consisted of 18 boys and 32 girls. Mr. Phil Holmer, the drama director, has been involved with the musical for seven years. The reason I ' ve continued to have a musical is that it ' s a different type of theater than only acting, supplied Mr. Holmer. Along with Mr. Holmer there were a few other dedicated people who came to help out with the musical. These people were Mr. Galen Darrough, choir director, Mr. Don Burdoux, band director, Mrs. Charlotte Hanson, seamstress, Michelle Franklin, choreographer, and Mrs. T who helped with the scene painting and snacks. Most of these people were volunteers that helped out with the budget since the musical was not funded directly in the school budget. The cast had practice for the musical after school almost every day. There were practices for drama and vocal on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Practices for dance on Tuesday and Thursday many times lasted late into the night. Through all of these after school practices, each person had to keep up a 2.0 GPA, not to mention jobs and a social life! Even with all of these challenges there were people who enjoyed doing the musical and come back each year. I returned, because I like interacting with all of the people, having fun, and acting, said Brent Mitchell, junior. by Jean Goodwin MUSICAL • 51
