J Murder and suspense highlight fall play “Dear Phoebe”, a comedy about a professor who became a love-lorn columnist, was presented as the fall play November 16, 17 and 18. 1 hough his idealized dreams of newspaper life did not come true, he solved a murder case, cracked open a gambling racket, became managing editor and fell in love with the female sports writer. Student director Karla Wald commented “The performances were very good and it was a good cast. The audience dragged somewhat in the beginning of the first act, but picked up when Mike walked in in his dress. “After the last performance, I felt a touch of sadness and a touch of relief that I lived through it; a bit of happiness because it was fun working with it, and sadness because it was all over.” Clockwise from above: Victoria Parrish (Robin Santos) is insulted and repulsed by Big Joe Moroni’s (Reid Hutchins) behavior.
