Fanciful Village, Brigadoon, ' Provides Setting Intent with his new love, Tommy Albright (Mickey Bridgewater) listens to Fiona MacLsren (Sheila Betzler) as she sings. Five weeks oC preparation were the prerequisite for the Music Department ' s presentation of Lerner and Lowe ' s Brigadoon. On the nights of November 22 and 23, the combined efforts of the stage crew, cast, and pit orchestra succeeded in trans- porting the audience to the Village of Brigadoon hidden in a foggy valley of the Scottish Highlands. The tale started when two travelers from New York wandered astray into the countryside. As fog in a nearby valley lifted, a mysterious town emerged before Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, played by Mickey Bridgewater and Don Norcross. In Brigadoon, Tommy fell in love with a village maiden, Fiona MacLaren, played by Sheila Betzler. With vigilant eyes on Jeff, Joyce Thompson as Meg Brockie persuaded this handsome stranger to go off with her. Other villagers were preoccupied with the marriage plans of Fiona ' s sister Jean and her sweetheart, Charlie Dalrymple. Regina Maple and Bruce Haddix played these lovers. The supporting cast animated the market place as well as village life in the enchanted town which appeared only one day each century. Rehearsals for Brigadoon got into full swing early in October and continued in high spirits until opening night. All worked together whether with ticket sales or advertising or during the many hours of practice needed to bring Brigadoon to life. Curious villagers gather in the market place of Brigadoon to observe two strange travelers from New York who have lost their way during their vacation in Scotland.
