1 551959 iii gif A boy's adventures are --Egg? e In the Spring Musical Qin In Orwell's classic, , room 101 was a place where everyone's worst fears tortured them. That was a feeling many of the cast could relate to as they nervously awaited their cue for their perfomance in drama director Ed Kozcergo's classroom 101. Although the cast might have had nervous feelings, room 101 also held a lot of memories in preparation for the spring musical Oliver. The performance took place on May 1, 2, 8, 9 at 8:00 p.m. Oliver is about the adventures of a little boy in 19th century England. He goes from being in an orphanage to working in a funeral parlor to joining a band of young thieves. After being arrested for pickpocketing, Oliver gets returned to the boys' home where he later leams that he has indeed, a family. The Oliver cast rehearsed five days a week and they usually lasted about two and a half hours. Though rehearsals were long and tiresome, hearing the applause and feeling the excitement of being on stage 1 Q made it all worthwhile, said sophomore Jennifer Smith who played widow Comey. Although the show would be lacking without a director, Koczergo liked the kids to know that it was their performance. They fthe castj have a sense of realizing that it is their show, in their hands, and what they do with it is their responsibility, said Koczergo. Being together every night after school for rehearsals that last hours can make the cast grow closer to each other. Oliver was not just another musical, it was a bond between the people involved with it, said sophomore Shadd Folk who was a member of the chorus. After the musical was over, the cast retumed to room 101 with all the fears felt previously diminished. They took off their roles with their costumes and held within them a bonded memory.
