Thespians Present Classroom Classic The curtain rose on the spring production of Bel Kaufman's Up the Down Staircase, a classic classroom drama. A cast of 32, including Mr. Ron Hanna, hus- band of director Trisha Hanna, presented the play two nights to audiences approxi- mated at 200 each night. There was also a matinee for the junior high. The play pro- duction grossed $43o. Senior Jon Remy said, It was a very good play. Rachel (Kim Garrett) and Jose (Todd Coleman) were my favorite characters. Many other students, as well as teachers, participated in the production of the play (props, sets, lighting, make-up, etc.). Mrs. Hanna said, It was really exciting for me to see the happiness in the kids' faces after the success of the opening-night per- formance.
