Free To Be The open back-stage door and small colored lights of the lighting cage shone over the crowded wings of the stage just as the moon and stars shine on a clear October night. Ballet dancers patiently stretched and warmed up as opening-number singers awaited their cue to sing, dance and start the show off with a bang. Free To Be served as the opening number and theme for the talent show which boasted Wabash ' s largest cast and crew. There were twenty-three performances in the two-act show including songs, dances, skits, a lip-sync, ballet, and poetry. Mark Mattern, Ian Hope and Tim Arnett were Mark and the Mudmops performing their own rock song, I Can ' t Help Myself. In the second act Chris HoUingshead lip-synced to lohn Cougar Mellancamp ' s Smalltown while a slide montage of Wabash shone on the screen behind him. There were also several large cast ensembles such as; Free To Be, Rocky Top, and This Land Is Your Land. Also the Wabash Valley Dance Company energetically performed selections from Cats and From Zero To Sixty In Five. Special recognition goes to Corky Herbert and Katherine Geible for their patience with the cast and crew. Overall the show was as fun to participate in as it was to watch. It gave the cast a chance to draw close and accomplish something before the end of the school year. Yes, Free To Be was a success. FREE TO BE A MUSICIAN.
