' But, Mama The original date for the seventh annual Dinner Theatre was Febru- ary 4 and 5, but it wasn ' t actually performed until a month and a half later. The reason for the six weeks cancelation was due to a 3 week set back because of snow and then an- other 3 weeks because of the energy crisis. Needless to say, neither the performers or director ran out of en- ergy because on March 18 and 19 the East Noble production Gypsy was held. The Dinner Theatre was the only play that was strickly done by the Thespian members. All the food was catered by these members them- selves, and the main dish was paid for by the Thespian funds. Just like Mama Rose would say, Things look swell. In spite of the delay things certainly did look swell. Mr. Craig Munk was proud that the kids never lost their interest in the play. Newsboys Cheri Rules, Cheryl Rhea, Paula Fredericks, Baby Louise (Annette Butler) Jenny Leitch and Laura Bruce sing their ren- dition of Stars and Stripes Forever. This was just one of the acts that sent Baby Louise and Baby June on their career. Rose (Lisa Reasoner) sings to Herbie (Ray Freeman) and tells him how much she needs him. This was Lisa ' s second lead in the Dinner Theatre. Last year she portrayed Minnie Marx in the play Minnie ' s Boys. 24 Dinner Theatre

Theatre Patrons were relieved to find that it was the quantity of the dishes that had been cut back instead of the quality of the food. Because of the crisis, this year ' s dinner was eaten on paper plates rather than real plates to save on electricity. Here Mazzeppa (Brenda Munk) and Electra (Lynda Rhodes) try to explain to Rose Lee that everyone has to have a gimmick. These daring girls were two of the three strippers in the play.
