THE CAST of the Friday night performance steps out onto the stage to take its bou.. Students ' play takes to stage The production of Our Town meant some- thing different to everyone who viewed, par- ticipated and directed it. Our Town was the first student supervised play ever done in the school. Lead by student-director, Kevin Bassett, 48 cast members and a production staff of 43 members staged the play three nights, Janu- ary 27, 28 and 29. I was numb during all the performances. After it all was over, I was let-down, but all plays are that way, commented Kevin Bas- sett. The major parts in the play were played by Rick Vincenski as the stage manager. Rich Gongaware as George Gibbs, Sharon Darling- ton, Amy Felten and Diana Henry all as Emi- ly Webb, Curt Hunter as Dr. Gibbs, Eileen Vorich, Renee Gremaux, and Julie Leffel all as Mrs. Gibbs, Joel Reed as Mr. Webb. Kathy Krueckeberg and Leah Taylor as Mrs. Webb, Rik Yingling as Wally Webb. Leslie Wood, Ellen Felten and Kim Odem as Rebecca Gibbs, and Gary Stroh played the role of Simon Stimson. Being on the stage and having a big part was scary for me at first, because I never had that big of a part before, said senior Rick Vincenski. It was the first play I was ever in. I felt stupid sitting there looking like a dead per- son. But all in all the play was really fun. said senior Cindv Blue.
