 plays to ghost of audieno “We picked a bad weekend to do the play, stated junior John Woodard. Everything was happening at once. It was a bad weekend to do anything. Michael Stanley was having a concert, Young Life was holding a retreat, and the football team was holding its last game of the season, all in one weekend. Although the audience was small, the performances went well. The play revolved around a writer named Charles Condomine who was trying to collect notes for a new book. He invited a medium to hold a seance in his home, and she accidentally called back his first wife. In shock after Denise Bailey returns from the dead. Mark Kale tries to calmly intro- duce her to his wife Patty Kennedy. Denise used grey makeup to achieve the ghostly effect for the play. Rehearsals began October ninth and were held after school daily under the direction of Marilyn J. Frazier. Junior Patty Kennedy related, The rehearsals were hard, because we had a small cast and therefore, everyone had a tremendous amount of lines to learn.” While the cast was rehearsing, behind the scenes, the crews were painting the set and working on the lights. The crew was experienced and had no trouble setting up the special effects needed for the last scene. These included books toppling from the shelves, pictures falling off the walls, leaves blowing in from nowhere, and explosions occurring in the fireplace. Despite the lack of a large audi- ence. the play was a success. Said senior Mari Leonard, It was a good script and a good cast to work with. Overall, we came out on top. Behind the scenes, Bill Crates works the lighting for the show. All lighting instructions were relayed through a special telephone manned backstage by Michelle Lauth. —D.
