“The unity and closeness of the cast and crew was overwhelming.” Musical Afloat •‘Bring us back something green, David,” Noah sets the bird, David, free after the flood in search of dry land. Noah, Pete Saliga, sings ‘‘Two By Two”, the title song of the show, which explains to Japeth why God intended for the male and female of each species to be brought on the ark. Brother and sister, hus¬ band and wife—junior Pete Saliga and senior Aline Saliga played lead roles as Noah and Ester in the musical Two By Two. Noah, presented as a mod¬ ern father, faces many prob¬ lems with his children. His el¬ dest son Shem is greedy, selfish, and only worried about his position and money. Ham, his middle son, is lazy and does little, yet expects to get the most. The youngest son Japeth goes against ev¬ erything Noah tells him. Two By Two is the story of a caring, kind, patient father that has enormous love for his children despite how they treat him. A lot of effort and time went into producing the play. Friendships were developed and strengthened along the way. “I loved working as a stage manager because it was something I never before ex¬ perienced. The unity and closeness of the cast and crew was overwhelming. It is good to see that great talent is be¬ ing put to good use,” said ju¬ nior Jodi Tomsic. Working on the sets gave many a different angle of viewing the produc¬ tion. “Working back stage was great! It gave me a chance to see how a theater produc¬ tion is run. I also learned how to build a set,” senior Val Cuddington said. The mood of the play was set as the audience was greet¬ ed at the door by a monkey and a skunk. “I loved usher¬ ing and seeing the little kids look at me as if I was a real monkey, they were cute,” said senior Eileen Kristi. With a successful outcome, the play served to stengthen the theater department and was a rewarding experience for those involved. 14 Fall Musical

Genesis sing in an¬ ticipation of the new world when all the water is gone. “Help me build the ark,” prays Noah, Pete Saliga, as he asks for strength, de¬ spite the fact that his three sons believed he was going crazy.
