Talent plus style equals excellent production With certainty. Hello Dolly was the greatest and most elaborate perfor- mance presented in this schooFs audi- torium. Approximately $6,000 was used in the purchase of scenery, ma- terial, costumes and other expenses. Regardless of this huge amount, there was still a considerable profit shown. There can be only one expla- nation for such a tremendous success in a high school production and that is this: it didn ' t look like a high school production. Elaborate sets weren ' t the only rea- son for this. As the director said, the students were able to assume the char- acters of the people they portrayed. A constant reminder was stay in character and this was well done . . . almost to a professional degree Try Outs Try-outs were held Sept. 4, 5, and 6 and rehearsals started soon after- wards. From then on, the cast and crew became part of a separate world to which a majority of their time and work was devoted. Words and songs were memorized and dances were learned. Sets and cos- tumes were made and an enthusiastic group managed to get about 200 patrons. As Nov. 17, opening night, ap- proached, it was hard to believe that the time had come to pull everything together and put on a show. That is what happened and it was more than successful. Memorable Scenes Dolly opened on a large, enthuiastic audience who loved it immediately from the first scene to the last. Some of the more memorable scenes in- clude: It Take a Woman , Sunday Clothes , Waiter ' s Gallop , Pa- rade , and of course, Hello Dolly . The show ended with a standing ovation and a lot of praise from the first nighters. This praise didn ' t go unheard and the show was sold out for its last two nights with requests for an additional show. Hello Dolly!, directed and choreo- graphed by Mrs. Ann McDougall, star- red Trudy Scamehorn. Trudy ' s range and voice quality, acting ability, and personableness all added up to make her an excellent choice for this part. Barry Weaver played the part of Hor- ace and his deep voice aand logical attitude blended handsomely for this male lead. Major Roles Otlier major roles were held by John Quinn. Phil Baldwin, Ann Cover, and Nancy Peterson, Jen Cunningham. Don Deferbrache, Jeri Enimer- son, Melody Owens, and Bruce Andresen also had important character parts. The understudies, Jan Harreld and Dan Eggles- ton, botli did an excellent job of stepping in when Barry was away and Trudy ' s voice left, although lliey were never required for a per- formance. .AH the singing and dancing chorus people were both enthusiastic and talented. The dancing girls included: Beth Batten, Jan Harreld. Patrice Mason, Ijiz Naquin, Jane Swi- hart, Nancy Bissell, Boni Borgaard, Barb Carmen, Sue Nye. Melody Owens. Carol Rooker, Linda Stone, Stevie Suther, and Betsy Williams. The agile males consisted of Bruce Andresen, Pat Cataldo, Paul Hutb, Tom Jackson, Denny Krauser, Jim McNeile, Mark Mowery, Bob Sipe, Mark .Szobody who were the waiters and also Kurt Free. Hugh Morison, Tim Ritchie, and Dan Eggleston. Members of the girls ' singing chorus included Nancy Buenzli, Judy Blinn, Sandy Gosling, Kathy Houghton. Gina Pavoni. Sarah Sample, Kris Schwerha, Gayle Weaver and Leslie Wells. All the males also sang. Tremendous assistance was offered bv both faculty and students in the areas of scenery, costmncs, and directing by such people as Mr. Morgan, Mr. McDougall. Mr. Geyer. Mr. Emery, Miss Frey. Mrs. Queen. Mrs. Evers, Mr. Gowdy, Mrs. Tally. Mr. Jester. Ron Montandon, John Banks, Mike Nagy, Mrs. Reiff, Mary Malone, Rick Goad. Trudy Scamehorn, Melody Owens, Gayle Weaver, and Mrs. Brownwell. The stage managers were Joe Thompson and Mary Berkshire and the business manager was Lee Congdon. A lot of time and talent was also donoted by Becky Broadbent who was the re- hearsal accompanist. Of course, the show could not have made it without all the people who gave their time to work on the stage crew, set construction, props, lights, programs, publicity, tickets, ushers, and costumes. The orchestra was also an important part of the show and added a good musical frame on which the chorus could build. All in all. Hello Dolly! was an ex- cellent show and will long be remem- bered with praises from people who saw it. As one cast member said, It was a blast! I ' ll never forget it as long as I live. ABOVE — There ' s a pause in the dress rehearsal as Mrs. Ann McDougall and Mr. Dave Morgan offer suggestions and criticisms to the cast. 21
