Backstage Crews bring musical together Even though the main attrac- tions of the musical 'lOklahoma were the performances on stage, many others worked backstage to get everything together for show time. Among the backstage group was assistant director Nicole Wrathall and stage manager Missy Harris. They, along with director Ms. Zona Ray shared the respon- sibility for making the play a success. And to build the sets, the theatre arts class worked before and after school to bring 'Oklahoma to life. Also aiding in production, some students helped on lighting and sound. Together, this group practiced with the players to put together a quality production. And the benefits, ac- cording to Ms. Ray, included learning different areas of pro- duction work and demands in producing a musical. Students became responsible from working with directions. tCohenJ Production Staff Director - Zona Ray Musical Director - Woody Christman Choreographer - lackie Miller Assistant Directors - Nicole Wrathall and Victor Tannous Pianist - ludy Zachary Orchestration Conductor - Matt McNeill Flutists - Missy Howard Kelly Fowler Trombonist - Doug Frasher Clarinetists - lohn Crumpacker Bassist - Mark Debelack Danielle Willis Trumpeteers - lim Dalitt Keith Cole French Horns - Mary Holt Kim Spessard Violinists - Stuart Eisen Marianne Larson Cathy Tang Viola - Vivian Volz Amy Crabill Stage Manager - Missy Harris Scenery Design and Construction - Technical Theatre I and Il Lighting - lim Humphrey and Mike Rourk South Technicians - Kurt Taylor and Carl Farris Lighting Designer - David Dinwiddie and Kevin McCullough Publicity Director - jennifer Graves Business Manager - Lisa Pool Box Office Treasurer - Laura Anderson Hair Design and Make up - Robin, Dana, and Mary of The Hair Company 3 5 3 s 5? a S E E 22 X Student Life - Musical S Q 5 Although the girls did most of their own In makeup, Stephanie Alga makeup, Robin, Dana, and Mary of The practices a dance step a Hair Company also helped the cast.
