“Marigolds” Dedicated to Mr. Bernard Becker The Thespian Play for the 1975-76, “The Lffect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds”, was dedicated to Mr. Bernard Becker. This Pullitzer Prize winning play contains moments of intense pain, sadness, and loneliness, but is essentially hopeful in that it shows that hope and love can grow from the most desperate conditions. Beatrice Hunsdorfer (Kathy Saylor) is a woman with two daughters, Tillie (Amy Youngman) and Ruth (Jane Green), who has never been loved and basically hates everyone particularly herself. Tillie has found place and meaning for herself through her science work. Ruth has been driven insane by her mother. Nancy (Renee Jinks) is the Hunsdorfer’s latest elderly ward. Mary Hoffman plays Janice Vickerery, Tillie’s competition in the school science fair. Production assistance was given by June Pokorski and Vickie Nansel, spot light; Michael Prelle and Mike Paulsen stage lights; Keith Gardiner and Jim Lewis, sound; Dee Dee Petersen, costuming; and A.H.S. theatre class, sets. Director was Don Clarke. 22
