New gym conditions cause actors to present ‘Alice’ at Edison, TFN Directed by Mr. Marty Stiglitz, actors presented “Alice in Wonder- land’’ Jan. 6, 7 at Edison School. Because of poor acoustics, bad lighting and painting of the new gym ceiling, thespians were unable to perform the play in the new gym. Due to limited seating at Edison, TF North offered its stage for an- other performance Jan. 15. Students made their own cos- tumes using papier mache for the frog’s, turtle’s and gryphon’s heads; a turtle shell; and mad hatter’s hat. Cathy Pratt portrayed Alice; Mark Norden, Cheshire cat; Bruce Cegur, mad hatter, Joni Sullivan, the du- chess, and Diana Shoup, the cook. Jeff Feathergill, Scott Ferree and Bill Costylo acted as March hare, caterpillar and frog footman. Other actors were Mitch Thomas as gryphon ; Cabe Davies, execution- er; Don Seagraves, Bob Bainer and Dennis Waugh, the gardeners.

Greg Lenz, Jim Costylo, Cabe Da- vies, Kip Alishio, Dan Costylo and Mike Mrache acted as prop men. Mr. Stiglitz appointed juniors Jeff Feathergill assistant director and Scott Ferree stage manager. Throughout the performance, antics of the inhabitants of Wonderland — tea drinking mad hatter (Bruce Cegur), pepper crazy cook (Diana Shoup), moralizing duchess (Joni Sullivan), henpecked king of hearts (Mike Cegur), and head collecting queen of hearts (Micheline Harris) — amaze but stand in the way of Alice in her search for the way to return home.

Proper introductions must include a “How ’du You the dancing twins Tweedledum (Roseanne Frechette) Do and Shake Hands,” and Tweedledee (Cindy explain Story) . “I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it,” sings Alice (Cathy Pratt) to her friend, Cheshire cat (Mark Norden). Stupidity and leg painting antics of fellow gardeners (Don Seagraves, kneeling; and Den- nis Waugh, right) appall gardener Bob Bainer. 14 “Alice in Wonderland”
