Before each performance, those who will be before the audience and those who will be behind the scenes are kept busy with many things other than the learning of lines and cues. In order for the show to go on, sets must be built, costumes must be made, and make-up must be applied. For many, there is still plenty of work backstage even as the play is being given. A variety of talents are necessary to the fine perform¬ ances which are enjoyed by the college and community all year round. Grease paint, shadows, eyebrow pencil, the tools of an actor. Left to right, Tom Sinclair, Bill Cameron, Gary Lavelle, Gary Meimar, Frank Jewhurst apply the finishing touches. BEFOHE THE CURTAIN RISES Seamstress Carrie Grader fits Jean Daguio ' s cos¬ tume for The Emperor ' s New Clothes. The drama department takes great pride in the qualitfy of costuming and with good reason. The Stagecraft class is responsible for the outstanding sets which back the Little Theatre performances. Gary Lavelle and Kitty Weppener set the mood as the walls of Jericho go up.
