Emotional medley Once again, director Bari Foote and the theatrical department of BSHS captured our emotions Nov. 15, 16 17 with their production of Potpourri—An Evening of Theatre. “Potpourri” was a first for the BSHS stage, con- taining three one-act plays. The evening was pro- bably summed up best by Ms. Foote when she refer- red to it as an “emotional medley.” The evening started off light-heartedly with “Ber- nice Bobs Her Hair,” staged in the 1920’s, with one adolescent crisis after another. Then, “In Act Without Words” junior Randy Freeman single- handedly kept the audience captivated with his mime presentation. When the curtains opened for the final act, the mood on stage had changed and the cast of “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” thrust the audience into the nightmare of Auschwitz. Throughout the evening, the talent of the BSHS Drama Department become more evident. “This was the largest cast we’ve ever had. Kids were double cast and triple cast; it was a great showcase for our talents,” said Ms. Foote. —Jill Jenkins 12 PI ay

Climb every mountain “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s ‘The Sound of Music,’ has a universal appeal that transcends the passage of time. Its touching combination of humor, drama and warmth melts even the most cynical au- diences,” said Miss Laurie Brenner, vocal music director. On April 19, 20 and 21, the BSHS vocal music department, drama department, and concert band, touched the hearts of the audience by displaying their talent in the musical “The Sound of Music.” A large cast was needed for the production, with fhe actors ranging from six-year-olds to high school age. The musical’s plot exemplifies every day life by stressing the point that even though there will be some tough mountains to climb, we must never lose sight of our dreams. The actors in the musical made the audience feel as if they were part of the play themselves, by bringing tears to their eyes and joy to their heart. Singing heartily.
