Suzannah Captures House As Joan Of Arc For the first time BCHS dramatists did not have to cope with the infamous hole-in-the-wall” stage in the high school cafeteria. Instead, the 1978 fall production of The Lark, a drama based on the trial of Joan of Arc, was pre- sented at the Brown County Playhouse, under the direction of Mrs. Janice Cas- siday and student director, Katie O’Neal. After much haggling with Playhouse officials over rental fees for the theater, a price was agreed upon and funds were appropriated by the school board to cover the cost. Though the actors were only allowed four eve- nings in the theater—one rehearsal and three performances—the produc- tion’s success was remarkable. The performance drew record crowds which could not have been accommo- dated in the high school auditorium. With many rookie” actors in the cast, an unfamiliar stage and facilities, and a spectacular burning” scene at the end, the play was one of the more diffi- cult ones produced at BCHS. However, the performances went well and, except for a little back-stage shuffling, with no mishaps. After declaring herself a saint, Joan of Arc, played by Suzannah Zody, pleads for her life. 13
