TUDENTS' ARCE A Play by Chris and Scott Let's do Noises Off Won't it be fun to do ’ Chris said. Noises Off? That's how it all got started and their senior years were never the same. Chris Barth and Scott Troia dreamed to do the impossible dream. They decided to direct a winter com- edy, but this was not just any or- dinary play, this was Noises Off, a three-act British comedy that just happened to run on Broadway for a couple of years. It required one of the three most complicated sets in Bay High theater history and the number one most complicated blocking and script. Yes, it took many long hours to put this production together. From auditions in mid-November to the performance nights at the end of January, the cast was completely devoted to the play. Chris praised his cast, Without their hard work and dedication, this production never would have been anything present- able. However, junior Brian Shaw at- tributed a lot of the credit to the directors, We all knew what we were doing, and yea, we were close, but that was because of the lead- ership of Scott and Chris. Freshman cast member Gretchen Gilchrist commented, It was neat how Scott was always mad at us and how Chris was always trying to calm him down. There were a lot of lighter mo- ments in this production though. For instance sardines. Ah, yes, tne sar- dines. The script called for four plates of gushy sardines to appear through- out the show. Theater veteran Rob- bie Killius even had to have one of them dumped on her head in Act II. But again, it all boiled down to hard work and dedication. Act two proved the talent and determination in this cast. I told them that if they knew their characters and was going on around them, they could impro- vise. They really proved them- selves, added Scott. Not all the credit goes to the cast though. Thespian advisor Ted Siller summed it up, Congratulations to Scott and Chris for their work in or- ganizing this show. They have suc- ceeded in putting together the most complicated student-directed show attempted at Bay! ♦♦x —r----- All Things Consider» Student Produci ■» ♦♦ ♦♦♦

WHICH WAY DID THEY GO? Looking for sardines, seniors Robbie Killius and Steve Wichman wonder where they are hidden. Real sardines were used later to dump on Robbie's head. — T. GrtenUef PERFECTLY PLEASED. In the darkness of the auditorium, senior derectors Chris Barth and Scott Troia confer on Noises Off. The cast stated that there were only two rehearsals in which both Scott and Chris were happy with everyone’s performance. MY TUMMY HURTS! At the end of the first act. freshman Gretchen Gilchrist hunches over with a stomach ache as those around make sure she’s okay. Noises Off was a completely student production from design to construction, acting, auditions and direct- ing.
