Winter Play French satire leaves audiences laughing “One of the most polished productions we’ve ever performed,’’ commented Director Bruce Robbins on his feelings about the winter play, “The Imaginary Invalid.’’ The cast spent “massive amounts’’ of time rehearsing after school and late evenings according to David Anderson, who played the part of Argon. The play was performed March 10, 11, and 12. It ridiculed 17th century French doctors and the problems of a poor little rich girl who was in love with a man of lesser class. Very receptive crowds attended both Thursday and Friday nights, with Satur¬ day night’s audience responding with less enthusiasm. “People were smiling, but just weren’t laughing, ’ ’ said Robbins. In all, 450 people attended the perfor¬ mance over the three-night period. Summing it up, Robbins commen¬ ted, “The play was a real success, our cast was very strong.” During dress rehearsal, Toinette (Julie Cupp ) amuses her master , Argan (David Anderson) by tickling his feet. Punishing his youngest daughter Louison (Renee Jones), Argan (David Anderson) at¬ tempts to force her to tell the secret of her older sister 's love. 24 Winter Play
