Frantic crew searches for grass Opening Night! Fifteen minutes before curtain time, the properties crew frantically searched for Bioody Mary's missing grass skirt as the make-up crew carefully applied final touches of powder and rouge to the actors. The stage crew checked last minute details on sets while in the pit below the orchestra members were tuning their instruments. Golden Singers mentally reviewed their lines. Just before the house lights dimmed, the props crew sighed with relief when they found the missing skirt. With hushed cries of break a leg , the curtain rose and the musical production of South Pacific began. Despite small slip-ups such as losing Para Lee's skirt, and forgetting to set out champagne glasses for the leads, the audience showed their approval with applause and standing ovations during each ofthe three-hour shows. Five weeks before the performances, rehearsal started. We've spent seemingly endless hours of memorizing and rehearsing, often from 4:00 to 12:00 p.m., said Barbie Baetzhold, who played Nellie Forbush, the charming and high-spirited young nurse from Little Flock, Arkansas. By mid-October, 160 students and 13 faculty members began working with the technical aspects ofthe production, costumes and make-up, scenery and props, and ushering. On the day of the first show, the cast selected special excerpts to perform during third hour for the entire school. Also during the daytime on the next Thursday, they presented a discount matinee, an innovation this year.
