Nothing could better de- scribe the changes in emotion of everyone involved with the fall production, The Diary of Anne Frank . lt's a very unusual at- mosphere. An odd mix of plea- sure, anger, frustration boredom texcept for the crew heads who are usually so busy they have lit- tle time to show emotion.J The Diary of Anne Frank is about a young teenage girl who has gone into hiding with her par- ents to avoid capture by the Na- zis. Anne, her parents, and five friends hide in the attic of an of- fice building from 1942-1945 be- fore they are discovered by the Germans, and sent to concentra- tion camps. Mr. Dussel ttierry Kohlbecki was the only one to survive the camps. The play was the first at Cen- tral to be directed by Ms. Polly Noone, the new drama teacher at Aurora Central. lt was a learning experience, said Noone after it was all over and the final curtain had closed. What many people don't real- ize is that there is more going on backstage. This statement is quite true. There was quite a bit of hustle and bustle going on at all times. The crew had trouble all night with the black hole , that mysterious place where everyth- ing dissapears into when you need it. The make-up crew was probably the luckiest of the crews with most of their head- aches coming before the play. The prop crew head, Chirs Za- lesky, had the biggest responsi- bility backstage due to the sheer number of props involved. The costume crew, after some early troubles, managed to get it to- gether for opening night with smooth and quiet costume changes. Ms. Noone described the harmony between the cast and the crew accurately when said, Everyone worked together ensemble which was very impor- tant because when a cast and crew don't work together, the play isn't a success. Although attendance was low on the first night, the second and third nights of the play had a much larger turnout. - by Ben Bauer Cast Anne Frank Patricia Blake Mrs. Frank Lyn Schrotberger Mr. Frank Eric Moore Margot Frank Mrs. Van Daan Mr. Van Daan Peter Van Daan Miep Jennifer Johnson Erica Watts Da ve Shirley Robbie Martinez Kathy Puglisi Mr. Kraler Harry Barnes Mr. Drussel Jerry Kohlbeck At the beginning oi the two year peri- od in the attic, Anne, sophomore Pa- tricia Blake, receives a diary from her father.
