Problems plague teens in Reb l Without a Cause Rebel Without a Cause was not only an experience, but it was also a real challenge. Junior Phil Wenne- borg commented, 'tWe had fun, but it was a lot of hard work! For both the f'teaser and opening night, that hard work paid off and was evident in the cast's fine performances. The play ran for two nights, hosting large audiences both times. Directed by drama teacher Deborah Carrick, Rebel was her first all- school play at Chaparral. Coming from Scottsdale High School where she taught one year, Ms. Carrick had also been drama teacher at Coronado for seven years before that. The cast of 22 had only four weeks to rehearse and perfect the play What was even a greater challenge was that only four of the actors had ever per formed on stage before We didn t let inexperlence get in our way lf nothing else the actors worked harder be cause they weren t experienced said Ms Carrick As in most stage productions the cast of Rebel admitted the play would have never gotten off the ground had it not been for the crew backstage ln many ways the people backstage were more important than the people onstage stated actor Darin Hufford The tech people worked on lighting sets and sound during rehearsals and when the play was being performed they were re sponsible for moving the sets and props quickly and quietly under the pressure of time Rebels storyline took place in 1955 in a fair sized American town The action centered around one boy s problems in adjusting to life and mak ing friends He felt he was never al lowed to be his own person letting his parents influence him and taking pressure from the gang Although Rebel W1th0Ut3 Ca use was a story about teenagers and their problems '30 years ago almost every one agreed who saw it that the prob lems teens face today aren t all that different Clothes styles may change but people don t seem to change that much stated crew member John Ja cobson Dayna Duistermars 26fStudent Life
