From Godwin Theater: Choirs pres The curtains are up, the show is over. Center stage reveals nothing but silence and the empty seats which just a few short hours ago held a capacity crowd that roared with laughter and applause. The house lights are dim and there is no spotlight to shine down on Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi, as she mixes and matches, making new couples in an attempt to carry out her plan to marry Horace Vandergelder. The costumes that have been packed away might be brought out again one day to bring back the memories. Memories of the reassurance that came from those silent prayers, the flowers from unknown friends, the simple words of encouragement and appreciation. Memories of the work that made what was once empty canvas come alive as it portrayed the scenes of Yonkers. MINNIE FAY (Becky Drennen, junior) tells the audience about the problems in The Hat Shoppe.

... Dolly! Memories of that someone who forgot their hat or tie and that someone who was there to dig one up, and the pre-performance-jitters that seemed to vanish when an actor had answered his cue to go on. But the most remembered will be the fun, the tears and the pride. The fun of clowning around back-stage, the tears of relief when it was all over and the pride of all when the community and students showed their appreciation for the show’s director, Mr. Kenneth Godwin for his many years of devotion by dedicating the GHS auditorium to him.
