Marilyn Thomas shows a developed skill in applying theatrical make-up on Leann Sands' face as part of the learning process as a drama student Suzanne Harrington was more than a play character as a worker helping to advertise a speech class production, Trudy's Two Faces Principals in a speech video project include Debbie Cormier, Dianne Durr, Angela Abate, Hal Comeaux, Larry Graffeo, Rookie Stewart, Greg Broussard, Kevin Delcambre, Rick Sonnier, and Mrs. Beryl Webb Speech and Drama Doings Only Rick Sonnier knows the trials of being Thursday Meets the Wolfman 's wolfman for both stage and pictorial purposes. Rookie Stewart puts a little English into his body language to stress a point for Robert Bertrand in their The Tie That Blinds roles. His Trudy's Two Faces role completed, Marc Leblanc leaves stage in character amid applause for a fine performance. joyful Cecily Vallot and charitable Stella Pe- try are easily recognizable in this fusion of two pictures of drama class makeup projects, but their work with grease paint (Where da Ponds?) make Allison LeBlanc and Melinda Roy unrecognizable. With all due respect to drama students, their ad- visor, and the purpose Where da Ponds? serves, we'll settle for a little eye liner and shadow.
