1 (Abv.) Cast members wait for Scapino (Mark Makin) to return to stage for the Opening Night curtain call. (Abv. Far Lt.) Ottavio (Hayden Schultz) jumps into the quay with Leandro (Cris Burke) after ob- taining money from Scapino (Makin). (Abv. Lt.) Making his directorial debut on the Wayne stage, Mr. James Garver provides insights during an early rehersal. (BIw. Lt.) Zerbinetta (LeAnneKrach) and Giacinta (Linda Bushey) tickle Scapino (Makin) to induce him to tell them a story. Senior Dave Bowling as Signor Argante and Junior Dave Henschen as Signor Geronte were the sometimes slow fathers of Ottavio and Leandro (Schultz and Burke). Juniors LeAnn Krash, the gypsy Zerbinetta; Greg Marlow, the plate catching waiter; Bill Parr, the shoeshine boy-bum; and Senior Lora Johnson filled the remain- ing roles. Unseen on stage were the crew members of Scapino , Technical Director Brian Gronau, his Assistant Director Gene Geyer, Prompter Colleen O ' Connor, and Sound Engineer Russ Richison who spent countless hours up to curtain time preparing for the show.

YOUV€ GOTT IH I H RT The emotions, the turmoil. The lights, the crowd. The work of putting a produc- tion together. The time consuming rehersals that make or break it. The time the cast of Damn Yankees didn ' t have, but put in anyway. Those Damn Yankees brought music to our ears and a smile to our lips. Marking the fifth musical in Wayne ' s history, Damn Yankees featured the best of Wayne ' s talents. Hayden Schultz highlighted the play with his devilish portrayal of Mr. Applegate. While many rookies sprinkled the scenes with memorable performances. Teresa Paetz, who played the part of Lola, Applegates number one homewrecker, surely gave credit to the production. Making a smashing premiere was Lori Hicho who portrayed Gloria Thorpe the newspaper reporter. She also proved to be a talented choreographer, and vocalist. Excelling performances were also given by Phil Steigerwald fSohovik), Wendell Summers (Joe Boyd), Anne Able (Doris), Le Ann Krach (Sister). Bill Parr (Rocky), and Dave Henschen (Smokey). The crew of Damn Yankees did a great job with the props, sound, and lighting. Without them there wouldn ' t have been a production. (Mid.)
