t:L:RLV AM) LAL ' REV. iIr ' Oklahoma swcrihcai Is plaxed bv Roger Cudney and Rebecca Firestone. ocali e about a stnrey. No time for classes No Time lor Classes had iis beginning as a pioduc- lion wriiten and performed by KSU students. Four years ago this procedure was dropped when Finian ' s Rain- bow was presented. Alter the presentation of Wonder- lul Town a year later, the decision was to continue pre- senting Broadway productions. This annual campus pro- ject of song and dance has now become established as a Rent State tradition. NTFC-the short title of No Time for Classes (studies, social lile, or sleep either) -is produced during spring quarter. The performers agree that the name is ■fittin ' and proper. Last year ' s production was Oklahoma, a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical which oj ened on Broadway in 1941. Cowboys, farmers, and farmers ' daughters com- iiincd to create the Oklahoma atmosphere. The play cen- tered around the Oklahoma sweethearts, Curly and I.aurey. played by Roger Cudney and Rebecca Firestone, and Ctirly ' s efforts to win the strong-willed Laurey. Jud, m the person of jack lirooks, almost dampens the love alfair by his fanatical attempts to gain Latney ' s love. Cowboy W ' ill has his share of problems, too, with Highly Ado Amiie, the can ' t say no girl. Matters are lurther complicated by the humorous Ali Hakim, the Persian peddler who at one point finds himself at the vr(nig cue! ol a shotgun. Dan ' W ' arnicke was cast as Will, iMary Ellen Doran as Ado Annie, and Guy Solomon as the foreign Ali Haknn. Nancy ' inbigler added another spark to the show in her role as wise, beloved old Aunt Filer. Another old- timer was Andrew Carnes, played by Dick Goddard. Creating a first in NTFC history, the sho v ran for four performances last year. NTFC DANCER.S have their share of exhausting moments. Connie Morris finds her part has a ready-made pause ,so that she can find herself a place for relaxing and watching the rest of the cast. 16
