r ityadoo t: ?4 7 ty % 7 «e Above: The wedding of Jean McLaren (Laurie Emerson) and Charlie Dairy m pie (Phil Larson) takes place as the village of Brigadoon attends and Mr. Lundie (Steve Probst) performs the ceremony. Right: Harry Beaton (Ted OMalley) does a fur- ious sword dance at Jean and Charlie ' s wedding. The fourteenth annual Dinner Theatre was performed on March 15th and 16th. The play Brigadoon was a magical story of a village that, by a special miracle, only appears one day every one hundred years. Two lost hunters from New York stumble upon this village on the day it happens to appear and are soon swept into a story of romance, love and murder. One hunter, Tommy Albright (Greg Tat- man), falls in love with the charming and beautiful Fiona McLaren (Amy Roche). The other hunter, Jeff Douglas (Jeff Mosqueda), catches the eye of a very flirtatious, young woman, Meg Brockie (Cyn-dee Wilson). Tommy soon finds out about the mir- acle and must decide if he will leave Briga- doon and give up his true love, or stay in Brigadoon, disappear, and give up everything he worked for in New York. Tommy, with doubts, leaves Brigadoon never to see Fiona again, but later realizes he really does love her. His love brings Brigadoon back to pick him up. There is a sub-plot within this plot. On this particular day, there is a wedding about to take place. Jean McLearn (Laurie Emer- son), Fiona ' s sister, and Charlie Dalrymple (Phil Larson) are getting married, much to the disgust of Harry Beaton who loves Jean. The wedding celebration is interupted as Harry (Ted O ' Malley) threatens to leave Brigadoon and end the miracle. A chase to catch him occurs and Jeff Mistakenly trips him. He falls down, hits his head on a rock and dies. The magical notes of real bagpipes add- ed a special effect to the mood of the show and made it more authentic, said Nan Bar- ker, a freshman who performed in Briga- doon. With the Bagpipes and the manufact- uring of real fog, Brigadoon came to life for two nights to excite the audiences. After two house-packed nights, Briga- doon disappeared For maybe another 25 years, said Craig Munk, Director. Text by Dianna Cullen Photos by Dave Yuska

■ 1 tflS V •• ' ' -- IPS if ■TfAa I Til On April 26th and 27th the stage of Cole auditorium was transformed by colorful scenery and authentic-looking costumes in- to the set of The King and I. It was a musical unlike most musicals that have been performed by East Noble, stated Amy Roche, the lead in The King and I. It was a show about Siam, the oriental country now called Thailand, and the King (Jeff Mos- queda) who fights so desperately to make it civilized. The play begins with the arrival of an En- glish school teacher, Anna (Amy Roche), who teaches the King ' s children and be- comes involved in a scheme to make England see how scientific Siam is. Tempers flare between Anna and the King as their willful pride is shown in every argument. The King finally is found dying, and even then he is besieged with pride. Anna decides to stay and teach, Prince Chululongkorn (Nathan Smith) receives his father ' s final blessing, the King dies, and the lights fade. With three weeks of rehearsal, the full production with an orchestra and 32 kids, who played the prince and princesses, went off without a hitch. Though we only had 3 weeks to rehearse, the actors worked hard and suceeded in making a good play, stat- ed Mr. Craig Munk, Director. The hardest part about putting on this play was all the scenery that had to be mov- ed constantly, stated Jim McCue. Who worked on the stage crew. The scenery was made up of five seperate sets that were painted vibrant orange and Turquoise blue. All of these things combined to make the ' King and I a show to remember, stated McCue.
