ade Mt4 hat drives a Eerson to e an actor? What causes a person to work weeks at a time for a two hour performance? What makes someone spend all their free time on a project that they get little, if any, pay for doing? These questions and many more were asked by the cast of the spring musical during their performance of Babes in Arms. The play centers around a small troupe of actors work- ing at a bankrupt playhouse in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The theater specializes in off-Broadway productions which have, according to one of the actors, sent many ticket buyers back to Broadway. The actors want to put on their show. Babes in Arms, and use the music written by Valentine (Mark Ireland) White. Instead, they have to star in a horrible play written by a halfpint, big mouth writer, the famous Lee (Dave Mascowitz) Calhoun. The reason they have to is the playhouse ' s owner, Seymour (Norman Coots) Fleming hopes it will make his theater famous. In order to make enough money to have the other owner of the playhouse. Bun- ny (Belinda Hill), pay off Fleming, they decide to put on their show anyway. One of the apprentices, Susie (Lori Church) Edwards, con- tacts the famous Broadway producer Steve (Ian Hope) Edwards, hoping he will take an option on the musical. He will be the only person in the audience for the private pro- duction of Babes in Arms. While Calhoun, Jennifer (Melissa Jones) Owen, and Bunny are putting on the Deep North, the rest of the cast and crew sneak out to put on Babes in Arms. The play ends with Steve taking out an option on Babes and the cast getting to put Fleming and his cronies in their place. Two of the most popular musical numbers from the play were My Funny Valen- tine and Bates in Arms . Kathy Geible was libretto director; vocal director was Lynn Brady. Art Conner directed the orchestra, and Lisa Mattern choreographed the musical numbers. A With the tip oi his hat, Mark Mat- tern welcomes the audience to Ad II. A Big City Nights. Bunny (Belin- A da Hill) tells everyone that she is a city girl at heart. ► My Funny Va entine. Susie Edwards (Lori Church) pines away for songwriter Valentine White. Spring Musical
