Paul T. Rennick Director Before the play began, the scripts had to be written and the scenery had to be set up. Our director, Mr. Rennick along with his assistants, Mr. Quinn and Mrs. Lehnertz, consulted the stagehands. Everything was checked and then double checked until it was just right. When the actors and actresses started to arrive, they were given their final scripts and costumes. As they checked over their lines, rehearsal for Renaissance had begun. The director and his assistants worked with the stagehands to make sure the scen- ery was up and everything was going according to schedule. Opening day arrived and the crowd started to come in. The programs were handed out and seats were taken. Throughout the play Mr. Rennick, Mr. Quinn, and Mrs. Lehnert were making sure that no problems arose in the audience or on stage. If an actor or actress were to forget his or her lines, Mr. Rennick was sure to help him out. As the play continued, high points and low points were faced. Halfway through, the performance let up for an intermission. The play then went on. New scenes were set up and a changed atmosphere arose. As the play went on, the audience started to get restless. They were anticipating the close of the final act. As Mr. Rennick was narrating the final act, the balcony became fidgety. When the final curtain fell, the audience left one section at a time starting with the orchestra seats. Most of the actors were pleased with their performance for the year, buUthey were also looking forward to the long vacation ahead. It wasn’t to be all fun though. New lines had to be learned and memorized for the next season. A new and more exciting year. 20
