Hello, Dolly hits on ' Skin Stage The show exceeded my fondest expectations, said Mr. Thomas Williams when asked how he felt about the production of Hello, Dolly, junior Mary Gabbard, the student director, commented, We had a hard-working cast and an ambitious crew. I think we did a super job. Hello, Dolly was presented by the Manual Music department in the Manual auditorium on November 9 and 10. Mr. Carl Wright and his stage craft class made the set, and the art club did the painting. The cast included seniors Beth VanDerMoere as Dolly, Robert Thorpe as Horace Vandergelder, Marsha Stenger as Irene Molloy, and Kathy Williams as Minnie Faye. Cornelius Hackl and Barnaby Tucker were portrayed by sophomores Tim Sullivan and Richard Williams. Dolly Levi was an ingenious matchmaker who arranged marriages for other people and eventually arranged the marriage she wanted for herself. Senior Beth VanDerMoere said, I enjoyed doing Hello, Dolly a great deal. We did have some problems, like when the microphones didn ' t work, but I felt the entire cast did a great job and really put out on both nights. When asked if she would do it again, she remarked, I wish I could do it right now! Junior Chris Cross explained, I enjoyed being in the musical a great deal; it was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. Everyone in the cast meets new friends, and it just seems like we ' re one big happy family. It ' s a great experience, and I encourage everyone to take part in one of these productions during their years at Manual. Robert Thorpe, as Horace Vandergelder, expresses his disapproval of fool in the world. Mrs. Dolly Levi (Beth VanDerMoere) describes the variety of services she offers, including lessons on the mandolin and guitar and matchmaking. Musical 21
