They're Playing Our Song Successful fall The fall musical They're Play- ing Oar Song, was a very enter- taining production about a lyricist and musician who fall in love, break up, and finally end up to- gether. lt was set in the late 70's and was extremely funny. The plot of They're Playing Our Song was simple and lighth- earted, but it was given more depth and flavor by the creative perfor- mances of the cast and by the di- recting and choreography of James Erickson. Wonderful choreography laced with singing and dancing, and a darling Jitterbug number choreographed by cast members David Wickwire and Melissa Bryan made the show exciting to watch. play David Wickwire added, Choreo- graphing the J itterbug number was a great experience? They're Playing Our Song was a story about a lyricist named So- nia fJanel Jaroszl and a musician named Vernon QRandall Davidsonj who were to write songs together, but end up falling in love. Both characters had three Voices in- side of them that told them their inner feelings. Sonia's voices were played by Patsy Vranizan, Kathy Lootens, and Melissa Bryan. Vernon's voices were played by Mike Androsky, David Wickwire, and Mike Lee. Each time Vernon or Sonia had a thought, their three voices appeared. When the voices appeared they would be dressed the same and tell Sonia and Vernon what they were feeling. This was creatively done. The story continued as the musi- cian and the lyrisist fell in love, out of love, and finally in love. The play took place in the studio theatre with a spectacular stage design. They're Playing Oar Song ended happily, with a dance finale and all eight characters on stage. The play was a success due to the efforts of the cast members in qual- ity routines. Leading lady Janel Jarosz commented, They're Play- ing Our Song was an exciting play with a fun castf' 26 Theylre Playing Our Song
