BEST SHOW in TOWN What does one do when her head is too big? Most people would suggest adjusting it, but with Lisa Veilleux’s burro costume in Man of La Mancha, this was a problem. Since neither costume or set could be adjusted, she managed to crawl on and squeeze off stage, covering up her predicament. When one forgets his lines, what happens to the scene? Creative Ken Butler, as Don Quixote, found no problem. When Ray Cord, as Sancho, forgot part of his song, Don Quixote, pretending to be senile, fell asleep, woke up and repeated his lines. Crumpled cardboard, painted under colored lights, and bricks formed a dungeon, the largest, most extensive set in Feehan’s twenty year history. It filled the entire height and width of the stage and thrust itself out to the first row of seats. To make this impossible dream possible, students devoted three months of free periods, after school and evenings. Miss Elaine Saulnier, encased thirty feet upstage behind the back wall of the set, directed, as well as played with the orchestra of both Feehan students, faculty and professional musicians! Miss Saulnier also served as vocal director for the production. The weekly, steady banging of hammers, the snapping of staple guns, the spreading of paint yielded a dress rehearsel performed for Elementary School students and adults from nearby homes for the elderly. Finally, the successful three nights of performance for the public were a product which Mr. Ksen, director, co-set designer, along with Amie Hodgkins and lighting designer for this production, and all others who worked on and supported, can be proud of!

Family Affair with Flair Where can so much craziness take place in just one night? Only at our Big Event! Both the players and the audience had a great time going crazy. It was not only a show for the people on stage our audience also got involved. Take “Baby Face”’ for instance eight girls went out into the audience and each grabbed their prize. Then, after dragging them on stage, made them up with balloons, ribbons, bonnets, rosy cheeks and teddy 0s % “I'm just a girl who can’t say no” Mother Nature (Lee Nerney) sings. 14 Big Event bears. Talk about being pampered! George Pedro, as Fr. Guido Sarduchi got his charitable donation from the audience in lieu of applause. Brian Kirby and Steve Hudson got away with dressing up as nuns, and Lee Nerney warbled like a bird in her personification of Mother Nature. Let’s see — Mother Nature, Father Guido, Sister Kirby and Sister Hudson and eight big babies, That’s a real Family Affair! “If only George could see me now” Liberace Sean Rockett and George Pedro greet their adoring public.

Motions speaks louder than words when pantomime is per- formed by Kenneth Butler. “No applause, just throw pen- nies’’ begs Fr. Guido Sarducci (George Pedro)
