A Multitude of Talent The fheorricol talent of some of the students wos evident in the second semester Ploy Production cioss. Headed by Nelson Polmer, the 5fh period class performed four comedies and one dromotic skit for various dosses. Three of the comedy skits were from The Good Doctor by Neil Simon. The Governess : A governess ond her mistress played and intriguing gome of cot and mouse as one by one, the rubles owed to the governess were sneokingly deducted from her month ' s pay. At the play ' s end, the audience was left to wonder which of the chorocters wos the cot, and which the mouse. A Defenseless Creature : A wild womon goes to on old bonk official for financial assistance. In comedic, slapstick style, the sickly mon was reduced to desperation by the woman ' s rovings and gymnastic gestures. Finolly, he was driven to conclude that the woman was on defenseless as o charging rhinoceros. The Audition : A naive country oc- tress went to Moscow to audition for the great Anton Chekhov. At first, the famous playwright was cool toward the omoreur, but when her oudition reveol- ed o genuine tolent, Chekhov realized that he hod misjudged her. The fourth comedy skit wos by Anton Chekhov. In A Marriage Proposal , Lomow went to the home of his neighbor, Tschubukov, to propose mor- rioge to Tschubukov ' s daughter, Natalie. Front Row: Asst. to the Director and Lighting and Sound Operator — Teri Perez, Properties Manager and Costumes — Rebecka Green. Second Row: Michael Maldonado, Ken Dell, Clare Thalken, Trina Stockman. Third Row: Bonnie McMinn, Tyler Cam- pos, Kathy Spinelli, Tony DeSalvo, Deb- bie Roberts, Paul Mendoza, Karen Vaughn, Sharon Pula, Dean DIocksher. ► Kistunoy reacts to the fake foin- ting spell of the wild womon in the ploy A Defenseless Creature. ► Each time he wos on the verge of pop- ping the question, o violent argument broke out and the proposal was stalled. Finally, in the midst of passionate conflict and lunatic ravings, the engagement of the young couple was accomplished. The only drama in the series of skits was by J. M. Gloss. It was titled Cana- dian Gothic. It dealt with the story of Jean, o young Conodion womon, her lover, Ben Redleof, a Cree Indian. Her artistically inclined mother, and her father. The rigidity of the father in his personol relotionshlps created the dramatic conflicts ond lead to the ultimate tragedy for all of the characters. ▲ The actors in A Canadian Gothic portray the seriousness of the ploy. 206 Performing Arts
