t €U ' Cast members wear several hats A new wave overpowered the drama department in the form of Al Peters. Peters chose to do Orchards as the fall play. Orchards, consisted of seven Russian playlets, full of variety. In the first piece Dan Schwartz portrayed Byelin- kov. Schwarts ponders over the question of whether or not to marry his fiance, Var- inka, played by Michelle Simmons. Most of the cast had more than one part, some small some large. Ann Stouder commented What made this play so different and unique was that it had a play for everyone. 1 felt that it was a good ex- perience for the ac- tors because of the constant changing of characters.

Finally, the evening was wrapped up with a mono- logue by Erin Holston. Mol- ston gave the audience a feeling of the paranoia about her character. The monologue went for a half hour. The play was good, but there were some parts that I didn ' t under- stand, said Josh Forbing. I think a lot of people felt like that. Maybe it was too deep for a high school audience? by Erin Holston At the close of the play, Erin Hol- ston engrosses the audience uith her paranoia. Holston recited a thirty minute monologue. A
