Duncan presented the rollicking Broadway hit, The Man Who Came to Dinner. as Led by Frank Nashland as the indomitable Sheridan Whiteside, the Cz1St included several inmates ofthe Home for Paroled Convicts, a crazy woman with homicidal tendencies, a collector of cockroaches, the rabbity horse doctor and Nurse Preen, who, strangely enough, didn't like to amuse penguins. aw Credit goes to the entire cast for the outstanding performances which they worked tirelessly to achieve, Among the more unusual characterizations were Bill Setzer's song and dance number, Delores Leland's giggle, and Frank Nashland's rendition of the poem about the rabbit. an Everyone will long remember the story of how Whiteside, the blustery author, broke his hip on the front porch of an unknown family in a small town in Ohio. Since he couldn't be moved, Whiteside made the best of the situation by taking over the Stanley home. l-le sent for his capable secretary, Maggie, but feared he would lose her when Bert Jefferson, the local reporter, interviewed himfand Maggie. 112

Saturday Night Cost PLAY To break them up, Whiteside called in Lorraine, a llighty actress, but his conscience began to bother him after his plans were executed. ln iifteen minutes, Whiteside had to undo the work of several weeks. For this job he made use of his numerous unusual friends. M For their part in making this play a success, credit is also due the behind the scenes production staff. The business staff, under the direction of Mr. Pete Arsanto, the stage crew, supervised by Mr. .lay Taylor, the publicity staff, headed by Chairman Marilyn Conroy, and electrician Charles Wilson all deserve a vote of thanks for their hard work. av Still others pro- vided their time and talents to provide Kuayites with an evening of entertainment. Properties were secured by Mary jane Moyer, Virginia Callison and Nlaggie Barbas made sure that everyone was properly costumed, Joan Dixon supervised make-up, and rehearsals went off smoothly due to the efforts of manager Lucky Collyer. Under the direction of Mr. Norman Webb, the orchestra played selections from Rhapsody ln Blue, l Got Plenty O' Nuttin, and Tumble Inn to put the audience in the right mood. H Queen Anne's first Spring play will live long in the memories of the cast, production staff, and audiences alike as one of the best plays ever presented. 113
