JECRy S KIDS Fun, hard work, and self- satisfaction; these are words which describe what being a member of the Drama Club en- tails. There are forty-five members, who, each fall and spr- ing collaborate to present a great play. This fall, they chose to pro- duce the Curious Savage, a comedy. Before opening night, numerous details had to be taken care of. The major problem was the stage; there wasn ' t one! Due to the construction, a temporary stage had to be built in the south end of the gym to accommodate the players. The set crew also spent many long hours making sure everything was just right. Props needed to be found, costumes had to be made, and lighting had to be set up. The people involved in the actual performances put in many hours of practices in memorizing and rehearsing their parts until perfection was achiev- ed. These long hours took a lot of determination on the part of the eleven actors and other impor- tant members of the play. Eugene Liechty quipped, A play is very demanding, but the cast party makes it worth the work. In spite of all the challenges the Curious Savage was a unique experience. — Karen Pfister □ 717
