We Love Opal FALL PLAY A new coach with new ideas brought a change of pace to the three performances of the fall play, Everybody Loves OpalA modern-day comedy, directed by Mr. John Klein, the play featured Opal Kronkie, (Lauri Rosenbalm) a birdlike woman who lived near the dump and collected everything from bottles to tea-bags. Her philosophy of life was God Bless all good men and bad ones too. The three bumbling crooks (Kevin Riddle, Lori Teachout and Dave Bier) attempted to take out insurance on Opal's life and then tryed to collect on it by killing her. Never successful, they finally gave in to the irrepressible goodwill of Opal. The detailed set featured props like a moosehead and a trapdoor adding to the realism, while down-to-earth humor brought much pleasure to the small, but loyal following. Lori Teachout (Gloria Gulock) and Kevin Riddle listen for noise from the basement, hoping Opal has died falling through the stairs. Bruce Marshall helps prepare the set by painting Opal finally succeeds in making everyone happy as she gives her money to the stairs during seventh period Advanced Acting. David Bier, Kevin Riddle and Lori Teachout. 16 Fall Play
