One Summer ight DHS's enthusiastic theater-goers were treated with a spectacular performance of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream on December 6, 7, and 8. The first dramatic fare the Fine Arts Depart- ment produced was a huge success. Accord- ing to sophomore Larry Finer, I didn't think Shakespeare could be that funny, but it was hilariousll' And the play was just as much fun to put on, according to sophomore Brad Morris, lt was fun, but I wish someone would have told me that l would have to wear a dress! A Midsummer Night's Dream was Shake- speare's tale of four star-crossed lovers, wandering through a forest full of fairies, in search of lost love. The four lovers were Demetrius, Helena, Lysander, and Hermia lplayed by David Ottenfeld, Katherine Stone, Eric Morris, and Julie Rosenfeldl In the forest where Hermia and Lysander plan to meet, there resides a group of spirits that like to meddle in love affairs. One spirit, Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck lpor- trayed by Brian Morrisl, is told to get a love potion so as to make Demetrius and Helena fall in love. But Puck mistakenly puts the love juice in Lysander's eyes. In the end, everything is set straight by Puck's masters and King and Queen of the Fairies, Oberon lJay Gurevitzl and Titania lStephanie Hell- erl. With the furious farce, culminating in a gigantic wedding, and the fine performances by all, A Midsummer Night's Dream suc- ceeded in bringing the brilliance of Shake- speare to the students of DHS. Fighting for their true loves, Julie Rosenfeld and Katherine Stone battle it out on the stage. Grlnnlng with excitement, Brian Morris tells his master, Jay Gurevitz, of his delightful pranks.

Moving To What was one great way to spend a won- derful weekend in Deerfield this year? Go to the Dance Show!! Again this year, Dance Club presented a spectacular show, Bop till you Drop The club was led by President Jodi Goodman, Vice President Nancy Fil- more, Secretary Laura Mandel, and Senior club members Stacy Karel and Lola Pashwa. The dancers had been working since No- vember to put on an excellent presentation. Not only did they bop, but the dancers also performed modern, ballet, jazz, lyrical, and character dances. The music ranged from the top 40 hits of the Cars, Duran Duran, Eagles, Wang Chung, and Toto to bizarre music like the Art of Noise. Special Ef- fects also added to the razzle dazzle of the show. Strobe, flourescent, and spot lighting helped create the necessary aura for each individual dance. One dance even went so Th Music far as to combine flouresent costumes with wierd lighting to create a really psychedelic effect, One of the most unique features of the dance show was it's originality. All seven- teen dances performed by the troupe were choreographed by the group, itself. The evening would not have been com- plete without the crazy antics of the masters of ceremonies, Scott Marovitz and Doug Levy. Doing anything to get a laugh, the two even dressed in tutus and did their own ver- sions of Swan Lake. Bop till You Drop was creative and entertaining all around, but most important- ly great fun for those participating. Despite a hard working and practice schedule, the suc- cess ofthe show was all that really mattered. As Anny Deliyannis proclaimed, lt was very hard work, but very, very worth it.
