1Old lady Gynt, Lisa Kaser, plays Peer Gynt's mother during a scene. 2 I am the Troll King, boasts Eric Gardner during the Troll Scene. CRWEGIA PLAY EXPERTLY STAGED rama at its most sophisticated levels is singularly D fabulous, and difficult to produce. But well done, it is entertaining and enriching. Thus was the result of the OCHS Drama Department's staging of the classic Norwegian folk tale Peer Gynt . With a cast of only 60 spreading itself out to play all the actual 90 plus parts, we are told the story of Peer Gynt. A lowly, lazy, second-class human being, who believes he is the greatest of all mankind, Peer fantasizes about his supreme being, and of the daring and magnificent endeavors on which he journeys. And yet in the end, Peer finds himself still a poor excuse for a man, ridiculed, yet loved. As with Dracula Baby first semester, Gregg Lacy led the stagecraft production of sets for Peer Gynt . The set for Peer Gynt featured an angled or raked, stage, which created a fuller, more dimensional effect. The very simplistic stage also used a visual screening effect whereby a very porous material was used as a backdrop. Props or people were then brought up behind this, and an above-stage light shown down on them, creating a ghostly effect. The cast gave a fine performance, especially Casey Drebin and Eric Gardner, according to director Arlie Holt. was 1 . i . . ' I . ,xi , 'K Tm it X X xii 22 Spring Play
