:QQ r,dQ,,. Gao QL3HM 35 S kk gl Bill Seltzer, and Dick Stauffer, took care of lighting cmd the mechanical aspects of the operetta, while Mr. Kunkle and his crew handled the job of making scen- ery and shifting it between acts, In the operetta, sweet, naive Rose Maybud is loved by both sailor Richard Dauntless and farmer Robin Oakapple. Robin, in reality, is Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, a baronet with an ancestral curse that he must com- mit a crime a day, or die in agony, Since Sir Ruthven is believed dead, the curse is passed on to Sir Despard Murgatroyd. Upon discovering that Sir Ruthven is alive and in disguise as Robin, Despard transfers the curse to him and marries Mad Margaret. Rose is about to marry Richard when the ghost of an ancestor, Sir Roderick Mugatroyd, appears. Robin clears up the situation by reasoning that Roderick didn't really die, since suicide is a crime. Roderick is alive enough tc marry Dame Hannah: Rose and Robin are unitedg and Richard marries Zorah, a bridesmaid. Our most hearty thanks go to everyone who helped make this performance of Ruddigore a success. 6 Q no Q q f Q ? ,G 6, ,ad 6 1w
