HAnnie comes alive First big play a hit Plays are not for my enjoyment or the audiences'. They are tools to make people more aware, self-reliant and less fearful of the world around them, said Allen Ji- menez director of Annie, From the evening of November 15, to the sold out show on the 17th, and the first matinee ever, on the 18th of November, audiences left Central's auditorium smiling, singing Tomorrow, and ready to face life again. People have always been able to relate to the young, curly red-headed girl who lived in the 1930's searching for someone to love her, namely Daddy Warbucks. The Drama Department's production of this tender, yet comical play was amazing. Several audience members commented that it was much better than the Country Dinner Playhouse's show and just as good as the National Touring Company. All this did not happen overnight. Mem- bers of the cast and crews had their work cut out for them as it was, but to add to it all, the roles of Annie and Daddy War- bucks were doublecast lanother first at Centrall. Kim Huskins, Moria O'Toole, each were Annie, Loren Buzick and Jim Mitch- ell each were Daddy Warbucks. Despite headaches, colds, and near nervous breakdowns, lines, blocking, songs and dances were learned, sets built, a new sound-system set-up, lights hung and posi- tioned, costumes made and make-up put on. Cast, crews and the orchestra, a total of over 150 people put 100070 of their time and energy into the production. Students involved had various reasons for exerting so rnuch energy, Missi Watts lGrace Farrelll said, l enjoy it. You get a chance to escape from reality for a couple of hours . . . Loren Buzick just said, It was fun. l just enjoy drama. Everyone would have agreed with Will Housley lpit personl and Kim Huskins when they said that the best thing about the show was, becoming a lot closer with the members of the cast, the way the or- chestra and the drama department formed a family by working together to create a fabulous show. The cast of orphans sing a reprise of Your Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile in Act II of the fall drama production of Annie, Annie',: Fall Drama Production 19
