S.S. American sets sail for Manual Satan, you stay away from me, cause you ain ' t the man I want to see . . . This phrase was shouted by the passengers and crew of the S.S. American in Manual ' s production of Cole Porter ' s Anything Goes. Excitement and laughter filled the ship from the moment the passengers boarded in New York until it docked in England. On shipboard Billy Crocker (Mark Bowell), a broken down broker, was trying to get his girl, Hope Harcourt (Kathy Gilvin), away from her fiance ' , Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Richard Wil- liams). Billy met an old friend on board, Reno Sweeny (Theresa Snoddy), an evangelist turned night club singer. Billy engaged Reno in a plot to get Evelyn steamed up and out of the way so that he could move in on Hope. Moonface Martin (David Ackerman), Public Enemy 13, and his moll, Bonnie (Mary Gidcumb), became involved in the hilarious plot, which included blackmail, disguises, and ro- mance. Finally, with the help of two Chinese converts , Ching and Ling (Howard Ladd and Randy Hanshew), Billy and Hope were at last united, Reno and Evelyn fell in love and Moony found he was no longer Public Enemy 13. Elisha J. Whitney (Mark Hart) was kept in a constant state of intoxication throughout the cruise. Eventually he fell drunkenly in love with Mrs. Har- court (Kim Carnes), Hope ' s over- bearing Mother. Thomas Williams and Fred Bennett combined their talents as music and stage directors to mold the show into a success. Assisting them were Sue Kirkwood and Tim Sullivan as assis- tant stage and music directors. Senior Richard Williams com- mented, Although Friday ' s perfor- mance was excellent, I think that it took too long for the kids to under- stand that they had to work together in order for the show to work. Sophomore Steve Schultz also commented, It was fun to be in and to be able to perform with all the tal- ented Seniors. I hope that next year ' s musical is just as exciting. HEAVEN HOP . . . Bonnie was being held up by two sailors (George Biro and Mike Ryan) as she sang of her shortcuts to heaven in Heaven Hop. She was trying to become one of Reno Sweeny ' s angels. FRIENDSHIP . . . Reno, Billy, and Moon sing of what true friendship is in the song Friendship. Reno and Moon are helping Billy hide from the Purser as he tries to capture Hope ' s heart. PROTESTING OAKLEIGH . . Sir Evelyn Oak- leigh was very disgusted. Billy had disguised himself as an old lady, Mrs. Bernard Shaw, in trying to get near Hope. Evelyn was protesting, He should be put in a pair of jolly old irons and thrown in the Brig. Musical EMHS 21
