CHRISTMAS ON ANGEL STREET Mr. Worthing tolls understands Jed's action ttSK. Christmas Spirit Captured The EHS Middle School presented a musical rendition of Christmas on Angel Street on the 8th and 9th of December. The crew and cast put in long hours of work and rehearsal which resulted in a heart-warming performance. The story focused on an orphaned boy, Jed, who wanted to buy his sister, Cassie, a Christmas present but had no money. The Colonel offered Jed money to steal Mr. Worthing's gold watch. Although he knew that stealing is wrong, Jed agreed for Cassie's sake. Fortunately for Jed, Mr. Worthing was understanding and helped to get the Colonel arrested. According to Mr. Galasso, the director, the students got a great deal of spirit and a sense of meaning out of working on this production. They were particularly enthusiastic about performing the gangster scenes in which they could rumble and wrestle on stage in a free-spirited manner. As well as acting, the students displayed a lot of talent in the musical aspects of this rendition. Along with the songs by the carolers, solos were sung by Shannon Lane, Allison White, Jodie Hargus, Ashley Sexton, and Trip Barden. Although in high school. Trip, a junior, and Jim Harris, a senior, dedicated their time to help portray the adult characters in the play. However, it was the time dedicated by all that made this musical such a success.

— YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU Oddity Runs In The Family It is often said that eccentricities run in the family. This may or may not be true of the family at EHS, but it is definitely true of the Sycamore's, the family in the Thespian's production of You Can't Take It With You. Since there were no ''normal'' characters, each student had to create his or her own personality. The actors did an excellent job of developing a special peculiarity for each figure. This diversification of characters is what made this play so interesting. As important as characterization. Penny prepares to show Gay, ihe inebriated actress her latest manuscript while Grandpa.

Such details as heavily embossed wallpaper which matched the curtains, and furniture from the actual time period helped to create the desired atmosphere. It is this kind of attention to detail that makes a show outstanding, which is exactly what You Can't Take It With You was.
