Weeks of rigorous rehearsals, set construction, and memorization preceded One-Acts 7 and Thespian Play ' s Command performances The drama department of Broad Ripple High School sponsored two productions during the 1982 year. The first to be presented was the Thespian play, directed by Dolly Davis. This is the heaviest show I have done since I came to Broad Ripple , said Davis. The production was The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. The historically accounted play dealt with the Salem witch trials of the late 1600 ' s. Although she had cast the show before Winter Break, Davis postponed the show performances, due to snow. The second show presented by the drama department was the annual One-Acts, a series of one-act plays, directed and acted by students. The audience consisted of about 100 people, sat on the stage to see Next, Childhood, and The Point. Next was directed by J. A. Lacy and Hannah Meadows, seniors. This comical act displayed a man facing the draft and receiving a physical from a woman army sergeant. Childhood , a more serious play by Thorton Wilder, was directed by Mimi Gatens, senior, and Maya Roth, junior. It discussed the communications gap between parents and children. The remaining act, The Point, also contained a serious theme. The show discussed bigotry. The director, Rick Hasler, junior, adapted the play from a child ' s story. Susan Brummer, junior, assisted Hasler. The drama productions of 1982, which attracted more patronage than in past years, appealed to those interested in history, comedy, and psychology, while providing a variety of shows to choose from. CONDUCTING PSYCHOLOGICAL tests on Marion Cheever, Tom Knapp — senior, Sergeant Thech, Rachel Riegel — senior, inquires about Cheever ' s youth.
