Drama Club Expands Successfully The Benedictine Drama Club found its rock of gold this past season with the productions of The Butler Did It and Finian's Rainbow. School participation was up; talent was up; and as a result, attendance was up. As the school year began, students poured out to take the stage. Freshmen came out in such force that Fr. Timothy double cast the fall show. Seniors also added new life to the Drama Club. Senior Mike Kubek tried out for the fall play and took the lead role in his first show. In the spring musical, Mike was back with fellow seniors Wille Littlejohn and LeShun Collins, along with Fr. Tim's seasoned seniors Bruce Buchanan, Greg Schmitz, Joe Patrick, and Lou Cavallari. This year, girls from Regina and Villa Angela, as well as Beaumont, turned out. Almost all of the girls were beginners in the theater, but the audience couldn't tell by their terrific dancing and singing. Fr. Tim looks forward to the promising reserves of actors who will return next year. By Bruce Buchanan Senior Greg Schmitz plays the role of a sly detective trying to get to the bottom of a puzzling mystery. 16
