King Sextimus (Lynn Sherer) observes the Jester (Jack Fraley) as he searches for the Kitchen Wench. When the spring musical was cast, there were many rivalries for the lead roles. Even before the first practice was held at least five chorus members had already quit. As the blocking for the chorus began, lines were assigned. Some cast members had their egos boosted by disproportionate parts and others were disappointed by seemingly boring roles. The first full week of practice was the same as sectional reek and many cast members went to the Tuesday night game instead of the blocking for a song. After being relieved from that song, a number of other defections followed resulting in the sectional fans being returned to the number. A lot of rowdiness was present at practice stemming from off stage characters causing the Thespians to get into trouble with the janitors. Conflicts with other cast members forced still more people to quit. Many complaints were voiced by the cast in regards to time spent blocking scenes, when not all the needed people were present at rehearsal, and at the review practice when teaching the dance to the absentees wasted everyone’s time. A few weeks before the play was to go on. the cast was informed to bring your sleeping bags because rehearsals would last late» after four to five hour nights and even a full Sunday, tempers flared. When the performances did arrive many unexpected occurences happened, but the audience enjoyed the musical version of the Princess and the Pea . Princess Winifred (Patrice Crimmins) informs the audience that she won't live Happily Ever After until she is a bride. The Swamps of Home chorus (BACK: Lise Jones. Pam Kruger. Elizabeth Headley. Karen Lint FRONT: Deb Penrod. Colleen Kuhn. Tracey Grimes. Veronica Hawks) lends it choral ability to Princess Winifred’s life story. ipoi «P SJ1I 26 SPRING PLAY
