New talent , bright sprays Discipline was reintroduced in Summer Theatre when John Toth, former MHS drama teacher and alumni Beverly Barton Seater, returned to direct the plays, “The Fantasticks,” “The Lovers,” and “An Evening on One Acts.” After an incident where flourescent paint was sprayed on the walls, the directors refused to tolerate any more fooling around from either cast or crews. The musical “The Fantasticks,” highlighted by Bryan Crary’s sexy see- through shirt, opened the season. Opening night came fast for the cast of “The Lovers.” With little rehersal time. paint stage tension grew among cast members who were unfamiliar with their lines. Evenings at the Fourth of July carnival and parties at Barton’s helped ease some tension. “Mama, what’s sex,” the typical eight year old question, kept the audience laughing as “Evening of One Acts” con- cluded the season. During the produc- tions of the “The Case of the Crushed Pe- tuneas, “Lord Byron’s “Love Letter,” and “Adaptation,” new faces had a chance to display their talents, while graduated se- niors bid farewell to Thespian Troupe 2861 .
