Hello,Dolly: Old hands, fresh faces combined for a fine performance Lh e worked together, laughed VN eee and loved together,’’ Chuck Stephens stated in reference to the all- school musical ‘‘He}lo, Dolly!” Cast and crew members existed like a family for several weeks having arguments, shed- ding tears, and displaying huge amounts of patience in order to put ‘‘Hello, Dolly!” on the stage. Mrs. Nancy Poynter, drama director, cast principal charac- ters. Cast members were given three weeks to memorize their lines and develop their individual characters. A train created by Broadway set designer Peter Wolfe was acquired by Mrs. Poynter, and was treated with tender loving care. A fire extin- guisher was used for the train smoke, and cast members had to learn how to sing with their mouths closed in order not to choke on the ammonium phos- phate. Bobby Worrell said, ‘The stuff was dangerous to life, lungs, and limbs. It tasted bad, 26 school musical too!””’ When asked what one word described the experience of Hello, Dolly! Skipper Morris said, ‘| guess it would be overwhelm- ing, because it was so much fun and everyone was so close.”’ | ‘Hello, Dolly!’ gave people a chance to sit and relax for two and a half hours.
