Senior Lynn Hubbard’s art work graced the cover of the program for Hello, Dolly! his year for the first time the Spring Musical became the Fall Musical, exchanging places with the drama. Work had to begin on Hello, Dolly! almost immediately after the be- ginning of school, since the perfor- mance dates were November 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26. The preparation that had to go into this musical was astounding. The casting of major roles and a chorus of singers and dancers was only a start. Sets were designed and constructed, costumes were found or sewn, dances were choreographed and practiced endlessly, props were found or made. Of course, there were continual re- hearsals for the cast, band and crew— after school, in the evenings, on weekends. The people on stage are the ones who justifiably receive the applause but they are only a part of the building of the play. In addition to directing the play, Mr. Malczak did most of the set construction, as well as attending to all the details concerning the production. Fr. Winterlin did double duty by re- hearsing both the chorus and the or- chestra. Adrienne Eggleston and Mrs. Barbara Wolf choreographed all the dance numbers, and in some cases, had ai’ the action on stage. IRB 3 tony a oe es rps if : ‘ad a to teach the cast how to dance. Mrs. Szewciw coordinated and sewed the cast costumes while Miss Hepner con- centrated on Dolly’s many wardrobe changes. As student director, Jayne Tumlin did everything from making coffee to filling in for sick cast mem- bers during rehearsals. Mike Gaza’s task was to keep everything backstage running smoothly, with scene changes as quickly and quietly as possible. Jeannette Varro made sure that the au- ditorium was presentable before the audience filed in and commanded the ushers. Was the end result worth all the ef- fort? Natalie Gilbert, who worked on make-up, commented, “Working on the play built a sense of unity among all of us who worked on it—we became al- most like a family.” When asked her opinion of the production Mrs. Fenters said, Hello, Dolly! showed how dedi- cated and talented our student body can be. It was obvious that a great deal of time and work went into this production.” Though it was time-consuming and often frustrating until the end, Hello,Dolly! had elegance. ry At oS Sue Leonard helps Sue Murphy curl her hair before a performance.
