Tutmania While the exhibit of “The Treasures of King Tut” was touring the nation, the Drama Club was in rehearsal for “The Lost Queen of Egypt”, the love story of the boy king and his wife, Ankhsenamen. The play was adapted by Mr. Thomas Marcello for performance at the Massachusetts Regional Drama Fesvital held on March 4th at Bishop Connolly High School. The dazzling costumes, props and sets, which were highlighted by recorded music and slides ofthe ancient treasures projected behind the actors, earned Case a special award for technical excellence. This was the first time in the 47 year history of the festival that this award was given. The three leads, Bobby Heron as King Tutankhamen, Cheryl Es¬ trella as Ankhsenamen, and Dave Leite as the High Priest Ay, were chosen as members of the All-Star cast for their exceptional per¬ formances. 26

The Roar Of The Greasepaint, Etc. CARNIVAL!, the Case High Theatre Company’s spring musical, was one of the highlights of the year. Under the expert direction of Thomas Marcello and helpful assistance from Mr. H. James LaFlame, Ms. Chris Stanton, Kathy Barry, and Anne Pettine, the stage was once again filled to the gills with students of Case High singing, dancing, and doing daring gymnastic feats. The lead role was double-casted with Nancy Cusick and Lori Robertshaw playing the part of Lili. How¬ ever, Lori was unable to perform because of illness. Other leads were: Paul played by David Gonsalves, Marco played by Dave Leite, and Rosalie played al¬ ternately by Sue Botelho and Karen Silveira.
