“Pajama Game” Company Hailed Despite much criticism and discussion concern- ing its suitability for presentation by a high school cast, the curtain was raised on the FLHS version of “The Pajama Game” at 8:00 on November 12th. The play ran for three consecutive nights and re- sulted in thunderous applause each night. Director Mrs. Howe stated, “This is the first play that ev- eryone was so close and had to work so hard to- gether.” Professional looking sets and props were produced with the help of the Art IV and Introduc- tion to Theatre classes. The play centered around the problem of workers in a pajama factory strug- gling for a raise from their penny-pinching boss. Tension increased with the growing love of two employees on opposite sides and their near destruc- tion of one another because of their situation. This version of “The Pajama Game” was taken from a motion picture of the same name which was written for television.
