X H.-4-an-fww......,,,N Great expectations Dickens classic delights Fenwick Buy a flower, miss? , Buy a song for a ha'pence? called the vendors as they ap- proached potential buyers with their wares. Witnessing the sights and smells of Fen- wick Theater's spring produc- tion, Great Expectations, one might find it difficult to separate fact from fiction in the Nineteenth century En- glish world presented in the play. Directed by Professor Lynn Kremer Babcock, Great Expectations proved another glowing example of the profes- sional polish characteristic of every Fenwick production. The ensemble cast, made up of eleven Holy Cross students, played over twenty-five differ- ent roles, several actors dou- bling or tripling as separate characters. Members of the cast included Michael Dufault Pip, Katie Youngs as Miss liavisham, Lisa Moore as Es- fella, Joe lanelli as the lovable and hard of hearing Aged Par- ent, David Goodman '87 as Magwitch, Harry 0'Rourke as Wemmick, Don Whitehead as the aloof attorney Jaggers, Ann Figge as Mrs. Joe Gar- gery, John Odell as Joe Gar- gery, Michelle Myott as Biddy, and Ann Marie Lizzi as the mysterious housekeeper, Mol- ly. Costume designer Kurt Hultgren once again outdid himself with the antique gran- deur of the ensemble's ward- robe, including the decaying splendor of Miss Havisham's wedding gown. Professor Bill Rynders transformed Fenwick into a series of platforms rep- resenting the various social castes of the characters, the details of the set featuring cobwebs draped over Miss Ha- visham's wedding cake and the floor of the stage painted as a yellowed map of Nine- teenth century London.

Brigadoon Almost like being in love It was almost like being in love April 8th through the 10th when the Hogan Ball- room was transformed into the Scottish highlands for the Alternate College Theater's spring production, Briga- doon. Directed by Bruce Miller in association with the Holy Cross College Choir, the popular Lerner and Loewe musical features such classic songs as Waitin' For My Dearie, The Heather On the Hill, There But For You Go I, and Almost Like Being In Love, each lovingly brought to life by the talented ACT cast. Featuring Bob Oulette and Jamie Nadeau as Tommy Albright and Fiona MacLaren, the young lovers not even time could separate, the cast also included Karl Liwo as Jeff Douglas, Tommy's comical yet somewhat cynical friend, Roy Vella as Andrew MacLaren, Fiona's father, Betsy Ann Bo- denrader and Bob Allard as Jean MacLaren and Charlie Dalrymple, whose wedding is being celebrated Down On MacConnachy Square, David Christie as Harry Beaton, the heartbroken former suitor of Bonnie Jean, and Justine Lyons as Meg Brockie, Briga- doon's original lusty lass. Pro- duced by ACT Vice Chair Kathleen McKitchen, the in- dispensible people behind the scenes included Stage Manag- er Steve Cassell, Set Designer Patrick Shanahan, Lighting Designers Tom Benison and Jennifer Zaiser, Technical Di- rector John Himmelberg, Properties Directors Kat Drin- ane and Mary Ann Scali, and Assistant Stage Managers Jim Morris and Jen Markey.
