An Enchanting Evening As the time for the spring musical production rolled near, everyting seemed to be in order, just like every year. Lines were read and parts were assigned. Props and costumes began to collect in the back of Mrs. Bonner's room. Posters slowly stacked up next to the door, waiting to be scattered throughout the school on the walls. This year's posters, like every year's, varied from plain writing to artistic drawings. They all, however, carried the necessary information: the title-South Pacific; the dates- April 2,3,4; the time- 8:00 p.m.; the admission price- $2.00; and the location- the new theater. Wait! Shouldn't that be in the Chapel? No, for the first time, the Thespians and apprentices were given the chance to perform on a true stage, not a temporary one built by Mr. Harris, designed to last through the final performance. The new theater was designed to be only a theater, with a permanent stage complete with curtains, a lighting board, and good enough acoustics to eliminate the use of all microphones. According to Mrs. Bonner, It is nice to finally have a home. However, all was not perfect with the new theater. Due to be finished the following fall, good weather had allowed construction to move more rapidly than had been anticipated. Final details were barely completed in time for the first performance, the last detail being completed only five hours prior to curtain time. Students were only able to rehearse in the theater for one week. The lighting system was installed in the last week. Both the front and back curtains used for scene changes were hung up right before the final dress rehearsal. And, the control board for the lights was positioned at 3:00 p.m., the day of opening night. The students involved were real troupers , rising to the occasion, adjusting to any situation. The result was a very professional adaptation of Roger's and Hammerstein's Broadway hit, complete with palm trees, beautiful music, and a working shower. It was truly an enchanting evening. Encouraging Li. Cable's passionate attraction to her daughter. List, Bloody Mary sings the catchy tune, Happy Talk .
